‘ftt iaucjA t e yea io, to t 253 THE FOLLOWING CLIPPING, dated September 19, 1928, appeared in the Cincinnati Enquirer under the by-line of Dorothy Pence, then a sophomore at Our Lady of Angels High School: Our Lady of Angels High School at St. Bernard is a magnificent new school. The building is in classical style of architec¬ ture, with six Doric columns above the main entrance. The lobby is of marble with built-in lockers for the students. The statues stand with flaming torches repre¬ senting Virtue and Learning. On the first floor one will find in the lower wing a suite of music rooms, offices, teachers’ study, and rest rooms. In the upper wing is a large sunny sewing room with up-to-date sewing machines and desks, and a wonderful library, from which stu¬ dents may get any reference needed. The next point of interest to most students is the large airy gym, completely equipped, with a balcony, holding 3 50 spectators. On the second floor are general class rooms, commercial courses, assembly hall, and laboratories. A beautiful art room is on the third floor and also a lovely cafeteria and lunch room, with the accompanying large kitchen and pantry . . . Last, but not least, is the swimming pool, 20 x 60 feet. The building is fireproof and equipped with the best furniture, solid, but at the same time graceful of line and unassuming of appearance . . . The school represents an investment of approximately $700,000. The Sisters of St. Francis, of Oldenburg, Indiana, who have been teaching in the archdiocese of Cin¬ cinnati for more than fifty years, are in charge of the school. The ground was broken on July 16, 1927, and the cornerstone laid October 4, 1927. The building was all ready for the great day—that of Monday, September 17, 1928—-when it greeted the new stu¬ dents for the coming year. Many clubs and other things of interest to the pupils are to be undertaken, such as clubs in each of the language classes, a debating circle, literary club; and of course, the ever popular Civic and Vocational League. Games like centerball, basketball, and kickball . . . will keep the students on the go all the year round. The grounds around the school are im¬ mense . . . Altogether the new school is a beautiful tribute to the cause of knowledge. What Dorothy Pence wrote 25 years ago is, in many instances, true today. A stage, an orchestra room, a costume or meeting room, and small music rooms now comprise the annex.” The teachers’ study has been transferred to the second floor, adjoining the commercial department. A conference room for the school chap¬ lain has been added. Smaller and perhaps less noticeable improvements include sound-proofing of the gym and of the cafeteria, up-to-date visual aid equipment, public address system, speech and music recorders, and variegated painting of re¬ spective classrooms and halls. Many of these smaller improvements were made possible through the concerted efforts of students who at one time or another passed through the halls of Our Lady of Angels High School. Now meet the present members of the senior class, as they mingle with the present faculty and student body in celebrating officially OUR LADY OF ANGELS’ . . . Page ten
