Through her earnest endeavors the whole congregation in the Brooklyn Diocese has benefitted by her hard work. The schools in which Sisters of St. joseph are staffed include two colleges, twelve high schools and seventy-six elementary schools. The Sisters also regulate four catechetical schools, staff two hos- pitals, four infirmaries and provide missionary talents of fifty-six Sisters in the missions of Puerto Rico. Perhaps, the most long awaited hope of the entire community was the new Novitate for the Sisters of St. Joseph. And this was built during the past few years. As part of the ceremonies for the Cen- tenary celebration of the Sisters of St. joseph, the Novitate's triple- winged building was blessed and dedicated by His Excellency the Most Reverend A. Kearney, April 3, 1956. Some of it can be told in this The littleness of daily things- But the rest can never be told It is the secret of the Spouse, The secret of the Interior Life, Where the soul is lost And annihilated in God As in a sea ----- 1 fzf---M-N H H ana SN 'WL . 1 l slli 91956

2-mrrvh Mart idst the bustle of Cathedral Avenue is found Sacred lleart Academy, Sacred l leart Seminary and the Convent guarded by the familiar statue of the Sacred lleart. The hlusie llouse, the west lawn, the tennis court, as well as the parking lot have all played an important part in our lligh School days. As freshmen we were fortunate in that we went right into the newly built school, All the advantages of a modern school were placed at our convenience. llow we will remember rushing through the forbidden short cut when we were late and the Seminary grounds recall to us the beautiful May Crownings. As we go past the Convent we think of our noon day visits to the chapel and our visit before the Senior Prom. As we walk further on past the tennis courts, pleasant recol- lections of spring gym classes come to our minds. Yes, we the graduates of 1956 will include all these things in the memories ol' Sacred lleart which we will always hold dear. Sacred Heart Academy .... Our beloved Alma Mater
