We wish to thank Clark Groome ’60 for his time and effort, poring over old school directories to compile this list at our request. Clark undertook the herculean task of writing the 150-year History of CHA, which you can read here in draft and final form. In recognition of his tireless devotion to CHA, he received the Francis P. Steele ’77 Award in 2019, having served the school as its first Director of Development and in numerous other capacities.
