Our Convent DURING the past fifty years our school has been especially blessed in having the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculte Heart of Alary, to watch with zealous care over the children. During all those years the Sisters lived at Villa Maria traveling back and forth to school every day. It was not until December nineteen twenty-three that our Convent opened having six Sisters for its occupants. The increase in the number of children necessi- tated our having more Sisters, so in order to accommodate these we were forced to purchase more property. Therefore, today we are proud to be the owners of the very attractive structure portrayed on the opposite page. The building was purchased at the direction of our Pastor, Father Schuyler. Mother Angelus, the mention of whose name brings back most pleasant memories, was appointed Superior. We wish to extend our sincere thanks and heartfelt apprecia- tion to the good Sisters who labored so earnestly for our good. It would be impossible for us to offer any recompense for the services given by them for they have inculcated the high ideals of a thorough- ly Catholic education that can not be bought at any price. We hope to repay your efforts, at least in a small measure, by living up to the standard set before us by you. Catherine Nolan, ’29.
