In the first Archive class, Mr. Santos gave the students a rare opportunity to see Dalton’s history up close - they were each given a text or photograph with no identifying information and asked to figure out how the various artifacts they were studying might be part of a unifying, single collection. It turned out that the seniors were looking at a 1929 time capsule placed in the foundational stone of the school’s current 89th street location! Students enjoyed discussing what the students and adults of early Dalton thought were important to impart about their Dalton experiences to future generations and what objects they might put in a time capsule if they conducted a similar exercise in 2025. All are looking forward to the next two sessions of this pilot partnership!
