.. Histor of our School A 5' i fl' The first school in .Xuhurn, liuilt in 179o, with llenjamin l'helps ' as schoolniaster, was a small log' house located on the site of 'f A- lluly l'i3l1lily Seltfifil. Holy l'iH1T1llj' Scltotil is 3 Iamlmark also, front the Catholic viewpoint, for -lesuit Missionaries traveled the lndian trail which has grown to he North Street. on their way to the villages ol' the fayugas. Rt. Rev. Monsignor lfdward l llyrne. a former memher of Holy lfamily Parish, has kindly written ati accotttit of their lahors for our puhlication on the opposite page. A Q The first Holy lfamily school was originally huilt in 18211 hy Methodists and was purchased in 1834 hy Catholics to he used as the first Catholic Church in Auhurng and later, in 186111, was converted into the first Catholic schoolhouse, The first teachers were laymen and attendance was very ir' regular, tmtil 1867, when the Sisters of Mercy came to Auhurn. .Xt the request of Rev. Thomas O'Flaherty, five Sisters ot' Mercy came from Rochester. Sister M. lJePazzi, Sister M. Gertrude. First Holy Fmmly Sdmul Sister M. Angela, Sister M. Ursula and Sister M. Veronica. A person living today, Mrs. .-Xlice Keeler of XYashington, D. C.. who was a memher of the Sisters' school during the first year writes as follows about it: The house tof the Sistersl was where it is now, lt was a doulile house and Sister M. Gertrude opened a select school on one side. 1 was one of the first pupils. The old Church was made into a school house and Mother lie- Pazzi was in charge there. Of course, other Sisters came on, The Sisters lived in the side toward lilullens' who were very kind to them, l rememher the Chapel especially. lt had an altar which my father helped to huild. lt was white and a little red latnp with oil was lvefore it. There were lights and flowers in vases. l thought l was almost in Heaven when we went in there. You know the property extended hack to llowlines' on Yan.'Xnden Street. lt was lovely in the hack, separated from the front hy hedges and we played hack there. The select school did not last long. and then l went to the parochial school for the rest ot' my school days. The second sehool, a hrick structure was erected on Chapel Street in 1875, during lfathei' Kavanaug'lt's pastorate. By this time the attendance had increased consideralily and at one time reached nearly ollll, the approximate numher now attending Holy Family School. l'rincipals during these years were: Sister M. lJel'azzi, Sistet' M. Catherine. Sister M. Patricia, Sister M. Berchmans, Sister M. Benedict. Sister M. Stella, Sister M. Stanislaus, Sister M. Genevieve. The present school was huilt in 1928 hy Monsignor Conway. The grade school has heen supervised hy Sister M. Genevieve, Sister M. Camilla and at present hy Sister M. Antonia, lleeause of the size of the new school, Very Rev- erend john Francis O'Hern. llishop of the llioeese. suggested that a parochial high school he included in the liuilding. Upon Father Conway's accepting this suggestion, Sister M, Martha he-came the first principal. On Septemher 8, 19311, Holy Family High School, which consisted of one classroom. a lahoratory, and a lihrary of ,ltlll hooks, was officially opened. Altliougli the school was small, its students were very active. ln 1932, Rev. XYil1iam li. Davie was assigned to Holy Family as principal and teacher of the young school. The first class graduated in 1934. Since that time the school h-as flourished, gaining prestige for seliolarship, athletics, and ahove all religious training: thus, giving the connnunity no small contrihution of Catholic, talented and civic-minded nten and women.
