PDS 20 Herbert S. McAneny began teaching at Princeton Country Day School in 1931 and directed scores of dramatic productions. He was named headmaster of PCD in 1963 and also served as assistant principal in charge of planning and development of student activities and nonacademic affairs during the merger with MFS. He was part of the four-member administrative team that guided Princeton Day School through its first year, 1965-1966, before returning to teaching.

PDS 21 Thomas B. Hartmann (on right, in conversation with Trustee Chester Stroup) was named principal to oversee the merger of MFS and PCD. He served from the summer of 1963 through March 1965.

PDS 22 PDS opened in September 1965 with no head of school. The trustees appointed Herbert McAneny, Beverly Williams, Winifred Vogt and Fowler (Mike) Merle-Smith (above, from left)) to a Faculty Committee on Operations to work closely with a Board of Trustees Administrative Committee. Throughout that first year, they met several times a week and decided many of the difficult issues facing the new school.
