This Montclair High School 1866 to 1896 school registry lists attendance and withdrawal of students, including the Crane Family of the Crane House & Historic YWCA Museum on Orange Road! Some surprising facts are revealed. Did you know James Crane's occupation was listed as "gentleman?" Did you know his daughter Phebe Crane had to withdraw from school due to a persistent sickness? Did you know that attendance was graded with a complicated score system?

New material about the Crane family is rare to come across, so it's really exciting to find this! Thank you to our Montclair High School intern Sawyer Silberman for bringing this to our attention.
