Stanley Clark School

The Stanley Clark School is a private school in South Bend, Indiana serving children preschool through 8th grade. Stanley Clark School has been recognized by the Blue Ribbon Schools Program, the highest award an American school can receive. The school also practices the Reggio Emilia approach, which is an educational philosophy directed at the development of young children.In 1958, Mary (Mollie) Bernard, supported by her husband, Leon, founded the Mary Reid Cleland School. The school was named for Mary’s grandmother, a school teacher in Scotland. While first founded for kindergarten and 1st grade, the school added grades each year, eventually serving grades K-8. Mary’s mission was to establish an alternative education for South Bend families at a time when public and parochial classrooms were frequently overcrowded and failed to provide the quality education Mary wished for her own children as well as others in the community. The result was a private institution that became a mainstay in the South Bend community. The Cleland School was renamed the Stanley Clark School in 1964 in honor of a prominent physician in the South Bend area. The headmaster is Melissa Grubb. As of the 2007-2008 school year, the tuition cost is around $14,000. The Stanley Clark School is known around the South Bend and Michiana areas for excellence not only in academics, but also for sports and other activities. Athletic activities are offered on a seasonal basis, and students may choose to participate competitively if they wish. Sports offered at Stanley Clark are ice hockey, basketball, dance, lacrosse, cross-country, volleyball, soccer, tennis, and intramural sports. During the summer, camp programs spanning a variety of subjects are offered to children up to age 16. The Stanley Clark School also has many clubs and teams, including Speech Team, Science Olympiad, MathCounts, and Spelling Bee. The school has done very well in all of these areas, and frequently travels to competitions held among area schools.

Studebaker
Studebaker

Studebaker was an American wagon and automobile manufacturer based in South Bend, Indiana, with a building at 1600 Broadway, Times Square, Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Founded in 1852 and incorporated in 1868 as the Studebaker Brothers Manufacturing Company, the firm was originally a coachbuilder, manufacturing wagons, buggies, carriages and harnesses. Studebaker entered the automotive business in 1902 with electric vehicles and in 1904 with gasoline vehicles, all sold under the name "Studebaker Automobile Company". Until 1911, its automotive division operated in partnership with the Garford Company of Elyria, Ohio, and after 1909 with the E-M-F Company and with the Flanders Automobile Company. The first gasoline automobiles to be fully manufactured by Studebaker were marketed in August 1912.: 231  Over the next 50 years, the company established a reputation for quality, durability and reliability.After an unsuccessful 1954 merger with Packard (the Studebaker-Packard Corporation) and failure to solve chronic postwar cashflow problems, the 'Studebaker Corporation' name was restored in 1962, but the South Bend plant ceased automobile production on December 20, 1963, and the last Studebaker automobile rolled off the Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, assembly line on March 17, 1966. Studebaker continued as an independent manufacturer before merging with Wagner Electric in May 1967 and then Worthington Corporation in November 1967 to form Studebaker-Worthington.
