Holy Family Academy Page Nui' THE HOLY FAMILY ACADEMY. This magnificent temple of learning, the Holy Family High School, is conducted by the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth. This lligh School comprises a really wonderful set of departments, each so important that one depends upon the other. The school is de- signed to qualify young women to fill happily and with justice to them- selves and others, the position destined for them by Divine Providence. It is with bewilderment that one looks at the educational advantages en- joyed by the youth of today. The education given at the Holy Family High School is practical so- lid and refined. It embraces all that is comprehended by the term edu- cation - the development of the moral, intellectual and physical powers of the student. The Holy Family High School not only endeavors to give the girls entrusted to its charge and education, but it also aims to develop a delicacy of feeling and appreciation, of the good and the beautiful, and that elegance and simplicity of manner so essential to cultured women. Education now-a-days, especially in the High School, means com- plete mental and physical development in their application to all call- ings of life represented in work and play. These two, work and play, lnust go hand in hand, for, as sleep is necessary to restore strength of mind and body, so is play necessary to balance the day's work of a grow- ing youth. The new building is the pride of the Sisters of Nazareth and their friends. The entire building is fireproof. The spacious EilldllOI'llllU, with regular stage equipment, moving picture booth, and gallery, is al- so found in the same building. What wonderful enjoyment for both the scholars and the teachers to have such a place in which to work and play! Below the Auditorium is the Natatorium, fully equipped, with a tile pool, floor and wallg complete dressing rooms and showers, and al- so, a public gallery for exhibitions. Both the Auditorium and the Nata- torium have special separate entrances from the street, which in no way interfere with the use of eitherg also separately accessible, is the beauti- ful, commodious Chapel with an organ and choir gallery. One would think that each of these features of Chapel, Auditorium, and Natatorium received special attention and study over all the rest, so complete and ornate is the work in each, similar care is depicted throughout the en- tire edifice. The corridors are lined with light pressed brick. The stairs are un- usually spaciousg in fact each detail received mature thought, even to the cleaning of the windows, which can be done with ease from within. The Curriculum of studies offered in each departlnent is complete and well-planned. No graduate need undergo further instruction or take an examination before entering a higher institution of learning. The Holy Family High School is a recognized member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. It is accredited to the University of Illinois, De Paul University and other higher insti- tutions.

Page Ten The Seniors' Annual-Class of 28 HELP THE CAUSE OF THE HOLY FAMILY CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL. The sum of one thousand dollars will educate a girl in perpetuity. The interest accrued yearly on this amount will be applied toward the tuition of a student who in personal character and scholarly ability will reflect honor upon the school. Gifts of smaller sums toward foun- dations will be added to a general fund leading to new scholarships. The foundation of such a scholarship would be a fitting memorial to a father and mother who made a sacrifice that a daughter might have the great blessing of a Catholic education. Make donations of books for the library. A list of titles suitable for the library of the Holy Family High School may be had on applica- tion. Help furnish the Auditorium, the Chapel, Parlor etc. List of donors giving five hundred dollars or over will be tabulated in the lobby of the new Holy Family High School.
