Lipken A special float, commemorating the 325th An- niversary of the City of New Rochelle highlighted the November 23 Valenti-New Rochelle Thanksgiving Parade. The Grand Marshal was Domenic Procopio, Chairman of New Rochelle’s Civil Service Commission But that was only a small part of the floats, bands, antique vehicles and new to the parade, Peruvian Dancers, demonstrating the rich cultural heritage of New Rochelle. Iona College fielded a huge “Mayflow- er” display, running on bulldozer treads and sounding a horn reminiscent of a diesel locomotive whistle, as well as a giant inflatable “Killian the Gael” mascot on a float incorporating all Iona athletic teams plus the college’s renowned Bagpipe Band. Monroe College presented an elaborate float with the Statue of Liberty and two bright blue “Mustang” mascots. Chamber of Commerce featured a giant turkey; “Boss Tone” and “Sass Transit” (roller derby names) from Suburbia Roller Derby sported helmets with Chanukah dreidels and royal blue menorah. Some marchers promoted social awareness and responsibility, such as New Rochelle Humane Society, Salvation Army, American Red Cross and drum corps from Habitat for Humanity. Clowns joined the festivities, as well as midget fire truck, “Little Squirt, Engine Company 273.” Before the parade, a Pancake Breakfast was served in New Rochelle High School cafeteria. Seen outside the cafeteria was New Rochelle Fund for Educational Excellence, (www.nredfund.org) supporting projects that school budget cannot fund, from kindergarten to 12th grade.

    CITY OF NEW ROCHELLE, NEW YORK, AS SEEN FROM THE AIR IN 1938. HISTORIC NEW ROCHELLE By HERBERT B. NICHOLS Published Bv, THE BOARD OF EDUCATION NEW ROCHELLE/ NEW YORK 1938 COPYRIGHT 1938 BY HERBERT B. NICHOLS FIRST EDITION PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA THE LITTLE PRINT, NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y. HISTORIC NEW ROCHELLE FOREWORD To the publication ~f a little booklet designed for classroom use throughout the public schools of New Rochelle treating of sig­ nificant events in the historic development of the city, impetus was given early this year by the observance of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the fou~ding of the "Queen City of the Sound". Preparation at th~t tiine for a pageant revealed that only isolated bits of historic materials were available and that nowhere I was there in print, suitable for school use, a concise and orderly treatment of the circumstances and conditions that led, first, to the selection of a site for refuge for. the fleeing French Huguenots and, later, to its settlement and dev,elopnient. To meet the deficiency, a committee was entrusted with the responsibility of assembling, preparing and editing all known information. How well that job was done "Historic New Rochelle" reveals. Not a booklet, but a full-sized text, scholarly, well organized, care­ fully and authentically documented, and yet, withal, attractively written, interestingly and entertainingly presented, is here given the girls and boys, their parents, the teaching staff, and others who may be interested. In the pages and chapters which follow, environ­ ment becomes a living reality and the reader is privileged to follow, from t}:le beginning to the present, the colorful and intricate threads that make up the historic and fascinating tapestry of New Rochelle.
