quette U., Milwaukee, and Catholic U., Washington, D.C., have also after due investigation entered the school on their accredited lists. No formal graduation exercises existed or distribution of diplomas took place until the year 1922, the last at Pulaski. Previous to that, written and oral examinations ended the scholastic year. Since 1910, the staging of graduation plays and salutatory and valedictory speeches in Latin, Polish, and English on the last evening preceded the departure of students for their homes. Report cards were awaited at home. Formal graduation exercises and the distribution of diplomas became a regular feature in 1923 at Sturtevant and continue to this day. VII. TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES Since there was no railroad transportation directly to Pulaski until 1906, the students of the first five years came by various means of travel to the school. Students coming to Green Bay via the Chicago and North Western RR. were then transported by horse and wagon to Pulaski by one of the lay brothers. This was a bumpy, four-hour ride. Those coming from the Stevens Point area arrived at Seymour, Wis. Q16 miles southwest of Pu- laskij by the Green Bay and Western RR. and were similarly transported by horse and wag- on to the school. Other railroad stops near Pulaski were at the Tremble station in Flintville Q9 miles southeast of Pulaskij and at Sobieskit12 miles northeast of Pulaskij, both on the Milwaukee Road, or at Little Suamico C16 miles northeast of Pulaskij on the Chicago and North Western RR. Brothers Pascal, George, Dominic, and Joseph usually drove to the various depots to pick up the students. By autumn of 1906, rails were laid for a 29.74-mile run from Duck Creek thru Pulaski to Gillett, Wis. This line was operated by the Manitowoc, Green Bay, and North-Western Co. and ran a combination freight-passenger train so that students of St. Bonaventure took their first train trip out of Pulaski in 1906 for the Christmas holidays, returned, and went home at the end of the 1906-07 school year on this train. In 1907 another track was laid, this time immediately from Pulaski to Eland Junction, a run of 47.69 miles and was operated by the same company. In Sep- tember, 1907, all students made gl, ,mv gi, FL P direct connections to Pulaski , from all points of origin. , Very good transportation Sm ' I W2 Q facilities existed at Sturtevant i ft' X, f in 1922 where the Milwaukee , f 1.

CURRICULUM - GRADUATIONS - DIPLOMAS As may be expected in a preparatory school for the priesthood and the professions, a curriculum of classical studies generally prevailed throughout the past fifty years at St. Bo- naventure. Records of the 1901-1902 school year show that the following subjects were taught: religion, bible history. Latin, Polish fgrammar, reading, and orthographyj, English fgrammar, reading, and ortographyj, German, U. S. history, geography, arithmetic, calli- graphy qpenmanshipj, music, and chant. In its infant growth, with a variety of students coming from different elementary schools, and in an age when laws governing a required eight grades of elementary education priors to high school entrance were not strict, the school was justified in the inclusion of subjects which later were relegated to the elemen- tary level Qpenmanship, geography, and arithmeticj. Additional subjects taught in 1902- 1903 comprise Polish literature, Greek. and world history. Ancient history was added in 1903-1904, while French, Polish history. botany, algebra, and geometry appeared in the curriculum of 1904-1905. Juniors and Seniors were given a two-year course in physics in the later years of the school at Pulaski. but this was changed to one-year only from 1922 on at Sturtevant. Other subjects added since 1922 are trigonometry, modern history, chemistry, elocu- tion fincluding debate and oratoryb. general guidance, sociology, typing, printing, civics, mu- sic and chant, and first aid fduring World War IIJ. At the beginning of the 1927-1928 school year, the German language was dropped from the curriculum. After an inspection by the faculty representatives of the Univ. of Wisconsin in Decem- ber, 1931, St. Bonaventure M. S. was placed on the accredited list of that University. Mar- lh-v.
