This, however, does not make her dis- tinctive: the fact that she was founded first for religion, and then for secular learning. does. Our students realize that if business and academic studies alone were desired, there are doubtless many institutions which could qualify. but they chose instead a school whose principles are based on religion and whose atmosphere is a Catholic one. Here, the girls are taught a philos- ophy which should permeate their everyday lives, making them richer and happier. In these days, when there is much incorrect thinking, Catholic philosophy is invaluable. Even when surrounded by bigotry and hate, the logical, Christian reasoner will not find it difficult to hold her own. The student trained in a Catholic institution will more easily recognize fallacy from truth. and will attribute to this business of living important significance. It is because of this conviction that Hallahan was founded: in adherence to such principles lies our greatest glory and highest privilege.

Roman Catholic, established in 1890. was the first diocesan high school for boys in the United States. A little more than twenty years later Hallahan, the Catholic Girls' High School was founded in 1912. As such it 'became the nucleus for the other diocesan girls' high school in the vicinity of Philadelphia today. Initiative and the stalwart spirit of the pioneers are part of the famous Hallahan tradition. A' V y ' ' L-.111--,Zz-:gd--:T?'44i ,if f...,.g,4 1 'V A if-,lf fibl' ' -Y .f .f f. - .
