I looked in the yearbook for 1932 and 1933 and did not see their names. They must has attended after my mom. Are you still doing art?

Thank you for uploading the movie. It really shows the appreciation for the place that people who passed through there feel.

Very pretty footage. Looks like mid- to late-forties, based on the car, the clothes, and the thriving ivy on the walls.

I was a Cranbrook faculty brat, grew up on Faculty Way, and attended 1st grade-through-12 (Brookside & Cranbrook).

You should find Elizabeth C. Clark's "Beside a Lake," a beautifullly written and richly illustrated and designed history of Kingswood, published in 2006. Edith Roberta Hamilton is duly recorded among the 1933 graduates in an appendix.
