the birth oi our Spirit O 0 O S.H.C.H.S. opened its doors for the first time on September 12, 1956. Thirteen parishes fed into the first freshman class, which numbered three hundred forty seven boys. The faculty consisted of nine Christian Brothers and one lay teacher. Construction of the essential rooms in the freshman wing was sufficiently complete to accommodate the first freshman class. But the major portion of the school was still unfinished and because of the demanding construction schedule, classes lasted from eight forty to twelve thirty each day.
