On this happy occasion we pause to pay tribute to the plucky Bernardians who through trying years of depression, unemployment, and war successfully published each year without exception a creditable volume of senior interests. We rejoice, too, in the expanding and development of the Bernardian due to the increase in number of our student body, and the interest displayed in the extra-curricular activities. The Bernardian has traveled a long way since 1929, but the story it tells, and the spirit which breathes through every page is always the same—happy and carefree, and redolent with the lessons taught by Christ and His Blessed Mother. Now as we leave our Alma Mater we register the joyful events of our sojourning, and pray the great St. Bernard ever to cherish, and inspire as the years come and go the future volumes of the Bernardian

Over fifty years ago Reverend Philip Garrigan then Pastor, who later became Bishop of Sioux City, invited the Sisters to come to teach in Fitchburg. When the convent, as pictured above, was completed, Reverend Mother Magdalen with a group of Sisters came from New York and established the first convent of the Presentation Sisters in this section. The building, imposing in the simplicity of its architecture is at present the residence of ten members of our faculty.
