OLD WESTBROOK HIGH SCHOOL

I took a picture of the old Westbrook High School on March 26th. It is located on Main Street in Westbrook a few buildings down from the post office. This school was built in the late 1800's and was used until the current Westbrook High was built on Stroudwater St. in Westbrook in the 1950's.
OBSERVATIONS: This school is still being used, I believe it is being used to house elderly and is kept in good condition. A common passerby may not notice this piece of local history as it is set amongst convenience stores, restaurants, and houses, but to stop and actually look at it and its surroundings, one would see that it indeed sticks out like a sore thumb.

I was "president" of "The 44 Club" during our 1949 senior year. Now I can't remember how the "44 Club" came to be. Anyone? Was it begun in 1944? Or were there an original 44 members?
I do remember our class trip to Washington, DC and staying overnight enroute at New York City' Hotel McAlpin.
