She has been an understanding heart; always listening, always hearing, always answering. She has been a blessed friend; eager to help, longing to love, ready to forgive. Blessed Mary, you have guided and inspired us by the life you led. You have pray- ed for us by your willing intercession. Truly, you have always shown yourself a Mother unto us. We, therefore, consecrate this issue of the Echo, to You, Most Holy Mother. Accept this consecration with a sceptre of burning love, from us, your children. Page 2 Dedication For your understanding and generosity of heart when we needed it most. For your kindness and quiet sincerity. For the many hours you have so freely given us. For taking the entire class, its hopes and desires, into the bigness of your heart. For these quali- ties and countless others that have so endeared you to us, we thank you. Sister Marguerite, and with deep appreciation, lovingly and sincerely dedicate our 1960 ECHO to you. May the blessing of Our Lady, to whom this book is consecrated, be with you always. Page 3 Rev.

To our priests we owe a debt that we can never repay, for they have shown us most truly that to know God is to love Him. Now we hope that we shall continue strong in the fervor that they have instilled in us by their daily guidance and inspiration. Page 4 History of Saint Mary s Academy With the new high school building rapidly progressing towards completion, it might be well to re - fleet for a few moments on the history of our school. Established in 1891 by the Augustinian Fathers of the Church of the Immaculate Conception, St. Mary's, represented by Reverend Patrick J. O'Connell, O.S.A., welcomed eleven Sisters of Saint Joseph in April of that year. The sisters were requested as teachers in the school by Reverend James D. Waldron, O.S.A., who planned the school and purchased the property for it. Six hundred pupils were enrolled on September 8, 1891. The first commencement exercises were held on June 28, 1894. Diplomas were presented to stu- dents who had completed a three year Academic Course. The following year a four year course was in- augurated, and in 1899, the name of the school was changed from Saint Mary's Academic School to Saint Mary's Academy. Financial problems forced Father Daniel Regan, O.S.A., to make a house to house canvas for funds to keep the school in operation in 1895. The Walter A. Wood Company, Hoosick Falls' largest corpora- tion, was no longer the prosperous enterprise it had once been and this turn in economic conditions had caused a population decrease which affected the school. The people proved their generosity, as they did during the pledge campaign in 1959, but so many had moved away that serious financial difficulties faced the parish. The remaining villagers rallied to the call of their pastor and the school remained in operation. Through the years the Academy has turned out pupils who have been a credit to the teaching of the Sisters of Saint Joseph. Saint Mary's is the Alma Mater of many business and professional men and women. God has blessed our school with many vocations to the religious life, and a number of the sons and daughters of Saint Mary's are serving God well as priests and sisters. At the present time, the Academy building is not adequate to fit the needs of the student body. The new building higher on the hill, which is expected to be ready for occupancy in September, will satisfy the demand for space and more adequate facilities. We, the class of 1960, sincerely hope that with better equipment. Saint Mary's will produce an even greater number of fine Catholic citizens. Page 5 His Excellency, William A. Scully, prepares to lay the cornerstone of the new building on September 12, 1959.
