Inaugu- rated back in 1951 under the careful guidance of Sr. M. Giovanni, St. Paul's High School had its humble beginning with seven freshmen students in St. Benedict's Building-in what is now the boys' dormitory. Five years later the high school course was recognized and approved by the State Depart- ment of Education. The first graduating class received diplomas from Father Sylvester, O.S.B., in 1935. The current high school building was com- pleted in 1937. Since the first group of freshmen entered St. Paul's High School to the current group of graduates listed in this 1956 Smoke Signal, a total of two hundred and thirty-five graduates have received diplomas at Marty. This Silver jubilee Smoke Signal issue depicts the story of the first twenty-five years of the Marty High School in pictures augured to show the contrast between then ' and now, The pictures of yesteryear and today, though graphically show progress in structure and enrollment, fail to capture the struggle of the early days: how Father Sylvester spared no efforts to erect an adequate high school building during the depressing years of the early 30'sg how he struggled to procure materials and personnel for the new building and enlarged en- rollmentg how Sister M. Giovanni, Mother Mary of Lourdes, Sister M. Benedict joseph, Sister M. Henrietta and other pioneers were determined to make higher education for Indian boys and girls attractive and effective. The debt of gratitude owing to these and many other personalities forever bound the early history of our high school we can- not adequately pay. It is beyond the scope of a volume such as this to do justice by citing all the signal events and to name all the personalities of the first twenty-five years of our history. We do hope, however, that this Silver jubilee Smoke Signal will be a reflection at least, of that perfect and complete Year Book recorded by the angel of Good Works hovering over St. Paul's High School.
