His earlier nine-room, summer residence on Miller Avenue is a modified split level, semi-cojonial home with 12-inch thick headers under the first floor which rests upon\ a complete diamond block foundation: Before he moved here the movie star was a close friend of Jorge Canalizo, an importir/exporter. of South Ocean Avenue where Leo, a great-grandson of mid-19th century Mexican President Valentin Canalizo b'acame a, frequent visitor.

Result: No separate building to house grades 7 through 12 won approval until the ‘20s, although academic students had been crowded into Grove Street Elementary School since the turn of the century. When David Sutherland Jr. became school board presU dent in 1920 he and the trustees proposed a novel solution —condemnation of an old cemetery on Pine Street west of Grove Street School, as well as transfer of about 1,000 bodies to Greenfield Cemetery in Hempstead. A $600,000 new high school was authorized by a referendum, 387 to 115. At last, in 1924, Freeport had a junior/senior high school centrally located. The problem hindering earlier proposals, it appeared, would have required too many pupils to travel long distances from their homes. Preceding ideas, which voters of School District Nine defeated, included th«e locations: (1) the north side of Ran dall Avenue between Wallace Street and Bergen Place, (2) the former George Bergen property (new Ellcs Plaza Shop ping Center), and (3) Freeport Oaks section southeast of where North Brookside Avenue intetse'cts West Seaman Avenue. - . - _ Rapid growth of our community in the next four decades made the junior-senior high school inadequate. Realizing that no site large enough in central Freeport was available, voters favored a location, on Brookside Avenue south of Sunrise Highway for the present senior high school. ' Meanwhile the Board of Education approved plans for constructipi^of John Dodd Junior High School on Pme' StrMt. Its name h d n o ^ our superintendent Of schools who served from 1925 until i961.
