As the Twig Is Bent

the hill, three-quarters of a mile above Old Deerfield and you come upon a community of interesting youngsters, living and working together, under the friendly guidance of experienced men and women who know and love young boys.

These lads live just the kind of life that you, yourself, would give your boy of eight or twelve or fourteen, could you provide him with fifty acres of wooded hillside over which to roam, the companionship of other desirable boys of similar age, health care that exceeds that of the average home, and skilled instruction not merely in studies but in swimming, skiing, skating, hockey, baseball, basketball, football, soccer —and countless other accomplishments that will mean so much to him through preparatory school and college.

A Boy and His Pets

And it is a very human, homelike place. One boy of twelve did not wish to leave home without his beloved chickens. So the headmaster asked him to bring his pets with him. At Eaglebrook, as you can well imagine, they are receiving the best of care from the proud owner.

Here a boy finds himself one of a large family where to respect the rights of others is the thing to do. Here a boy finds some phase of athletics, art, or study in which he can achieve success and then develop self-confidence and independence.

When King Winter reigns, every boy is a devotee of some winter sport. He is skiing or snowshoeing in preparation for the big Eaglebrook Winter Carnival held at the school every February when scores of parents, friends, and other guests throng the Eaglebrook hillside.

Thorough Beginnings

But the boy's major job is to become so thoroughly grounded in elementary subjects that he will be a credit to himself and his family at Andover, Exeter, Deerfield, Hotchkiss, St. Mark's, or a similar school.

Pictures of Eaglebrook are contained in a school publication, "The Young Boy and His School," that will be sent on request.

Address the Headmaster, Eaglebrook School, Deerfield, Mass. Please mention the Dartmouth Alumni Magazine.
