But the Spirit Holy Names is on its way to further progress and prosperity. Before we look forward to our life in the new high school, a little wistfully and very gratefully we take a backward glance over the history of our school to see what it is that makes A.H.N. our pride and joy. Sisters M. Mariana and M. Hedwige have graciously opened to our LM. interviewers their treasure of memories. Just seventy-five years ago in a little house on Hamilton Street, the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary first started to educate the young people of Albany. Their fame spread so rapidly that in four years it was neces- sary to move to a larger building on the corner of Madison Avenue and Robin Street. This was only a two-story frame structure. But as the list of students grew, so did the building. Soon word of the wonderful training and excellent teaching of the Sisters of the Holy Names had spread, and again it was necessary to enlarge the Academy. That is when we first received our dappled gray -stone building. Of course it was smaller then, just two stories high. This building enclosed our beautiful chapel which was dedi- cated in 1912. As the years went by, former students sent their children to be educated by our Sisters and again A.H.N. had to be enlarged. That was when the brick addition which is now the high school was constructed. Memories of more than expansion of buildings and enrollment were opened to us. Sister Mary Hedwige told of other changes. What is now one of our back parlors was originally the boarders' beehive, and our annex was where the children spent their recess. Since Sister M. Mariana was a resident student she related many of the humorous and thrilling incidents which have left lasting memories with her. Washington Park seemed to be a favorite K ' recreation place for boarders, In the winter the girls would skate on the Park t If .i Lake or on the rink in the back yard of school. Then in the summer and spring, rowing on the lake was a popular sport. 1881 . ,- uf ,Q . f ',,, ,. f .1 A qy Q.. 5 i fr .rpg ., is E 1.53. .'
