The 1920s

In 1924 an official school dress was required for all students. It was in blue or brown serge with a middy blouse decorated with red or yellow piping. A red, blue, yellow or brown tie could be worn, and sweaters and skirts in the school colors of red and blue also were permitted.

St. Helen’s Hall offered four years of Latin and three years of Greek, and its graduates were accepted by colleges throughout the country. A frame building with an auditorium and classroom space was added in 1927, and it later was named Scadding Hall.

Information for this page was condensed from The First Century, a history of St. Helen's Hall written by Sally Reed Stout.
