with Eternal Dividends Because a man did not have the oppor- tunities of a Catholic education for himself, at his death he left a large bequest of money for a'Catholic high school. This was the first donation and largest impetus which started our high school-known at that time as St. Patrick's High School. Mr. James B. Holden, a cook at one of the lumber camps in Eau Claire, had no chance to receive an education, yet he wanted the youth of future generations to enioy a Christian education. To St. Patrick's parish, Mr. Holden left a substantial sum which formed the maior portion of the newly born St. Patrick's four year high school building. This is the high school which in turn became the Central Catholic High School, and today in our new building is its perfection - our Regis High School. 0 Mr. James B.
