I would like to take this opportunity to extend my congratulations to the Adams Street East Side Preparatory School of Worcester. MA. as this fine Institution celebrates Its 100th anniversary this fall. Opened In October 1897. Adams East Side began as a fourroom brick schoolhouse with 165 students. overseen by Principal Carre Pierre. Although 92 percent of the lirst student body was born here in the United States. these students were largely the children of immigrants. nearly half of their fathers had been born across the Atlantic In Ireland. Additions to the school were made in 1916. 1920. and 1927. so that by 1934 enrollment had risen to 785 students. Today.
