PRESENT From the bell tower daily, a memorial bell dedicated to the nuns and girls, victims of the convent fire of 1884, rings out a brief, melodious call to prayer. The academy chapel in 1929 con- trasts sharply with the white marble throne room of Christ, the Master, where today He awaits the visits of NDA girls. Additional space and modem facili- ties were provided in 1937 when the new high school building erected to the right of the convent building, was dedicated by His Excellency, Bishop Althoff.
