Fifsf Sf- MGYY SCl100l St. Mary School Present St. Mary Grade and High School History ol St. Mary School St. Mary School was the lirst school in the diocese ol Green Bay. lt was built in September ol the year 1868, and was a brick building consisting ol two stories. On the lower Floor were two classrooms while the upper floor was used as a parsonage. The Sisters ol St. Francis were then called upon to take charge ol the school. Four Sisters, three teachers and a sister who was to take care ol the domestic duties came to Menasha. Sister Mary l.udovicia was the appointed Sister Superior ol the school. She was a very capable and well- educated young lady. Her ability can be best made known in the statement that she was Superior General ol the Order lor lorty-six years. St. Mary opened with an excellent enrollment. Children came to attend from both the German and lrish parishes. Even Protestants confidently sent their children to this school. Only elementary subjects were taught because none ol the students intended to work lor a higher education. God blessed the labors of these good sisters and the school flourished successfully. ln 1872 Rev. J. Jaster took charge ol the parish. He invited the School Sisters ol Notre Dame to teach in this prosperous school. ln 1893 Rev. Father Andrew Seubert built a new and well-equipped school. Later, in 1921, Right Rev. Monsignor J. Hummel had it remodeled and the school received still better accommodations. ln 1926, a Final addition was made. For a lew years the students were only able to take a fully equipped commercial course. But in 1927 the classical courses were added. ln this year there were sixty students in the High School. Rev. Nicholas J. Langenleld was the lounder ol St. Mary Band which was formally organized on June 10, 1927. Thirty students pledged themselves to attend rehearsals weekly. A small beginning but what tremendous results. Our First lootball team was organized in 1928. There were no interscholastic competitions but the teams played the Junior l-loly Name gridders from the surrounding towns. ln 1929 the boys played their lirst football with other high school teams. The basketball team was also organized in 1928. Again there was no interscholastic competition and the boys were content to play among themselves. The new gymnasium and auditorium was added in 1930. Work began the 29th ol March and May 8, Right Rev. Monsignor John Hummel blessed the corner stone. ln 1929 the First graduating exercises took place. Two weeks later, on that memorable Friday, June 28th, 1929 Rev. Joseph A. Becker arrived to take over the work ol the school as its principal. With priestly zeal and energy he undertook the guidance ol St. Mary School which was to become the bul- wark ol Catholic education. Nothing was lelt un- done4Religion, academic courses, music, athletics- all received undivided attention so that St. Mary ranks topmost in the Field ol education. ln 1930, as a grand Finale, St. Mary High School was placed on the list ol accredited high schools by the North Central Association.
