The book is in very good condition. __________________Marlborough School is an independent college-preparatory secondary school for grades 7 through 12 at 250 South Rossmore Avenue in the Hancock Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. Marlborough was founded in 1889 by New England educator Mary Caswell and is the oldest independent girls' school in Southern California. In 2016, Town & Country magazine ranked Marlborough as the "best girls' school in America."Mary S. Caswell, a young teacher from Maine, founded Marlborough in 1889 as St. Margaret's School for Girls. In 1890, the school adopted the name Marlborough and moved from Pasadena to the rapidly growing city of Los Angeles. Caswell led the school until 1924, when Ada Blake (recruited from Louisville Collegiate School) assumed its leadership. Blake expanded the curriculum substantially and the School gained a reputation for providing young women with an uncommonly rigorous education.By the 1960s, the School was supported by a healthy foundation and an active board of trustees, who hired William Pereira and Associates to design new buildings. The Los Angeles business community actively supported the school in the latter half of the 20th century, with local titans including Robert H. Ahmanson and Charlie Munger giving generously.In 2015, Dr. Priscilla Sands was named head of school. Sands came to Marlborough after a career at the Agnes Irwin School and the Springside Chestnut Hill Academy, both independent schools in the Philadelphia area. This school is also one of the first elite, all-girls school in California to have a sexual misconduct investigation. The investigation then led to imprisonment of a former teacher and increased public scrutiny that now no longer appears on the school's official page. ________________Bibliomonster Books is one of Ebay's leading sources for original, vintage yearbooks including those featuring celebrities and notables.
