'wtanrlm f near the site of thi- 'xgcd Bellar Being the only Catholic boys' high school in the Santa Clara Valley, Bellarmine's enrollment soon in- creased to 400 boys. At the same time a successful effort was made to improve academic standards through the cooperative efforts of the faculty and their new president, Rev. James Donahue, S.J. This period saw the beginning of actual construc- tion of new buildings. A Co-Op and Bookstore were added, along with a new Social Hall complete with recreational facilities for the ever increasing number of resident students. Even further demands on the limited classroom space necessitated splitting of the larger classrooms into smaller sized units. This made it possible to accom- modate even more students. The need for a new school building became daily more apparent. lgt?ll2ll'I1'lill6,b low Soviul Hall ladiclenffi Jfuclenfd Sofia riaed on Jife of off! mine prepar-nu v school auilitm-ium rm I onfmruafor - . . . .
