OUR SCHOOL During our Freshman year, construction of the new high school division of Saint Mary's Academy began after the ground-breaking ceremonies which took place in May, 1959. We watched with thrilled interest the progress that was made, and in the early fall of the same year, we saw the cornerstone laid. A year later, almost to the day, we began our Junior year in our beautiful new building. In June, 1961, we witnessed the first graduation from Saint Mary's new gym, little dreaming how quickly the months would fly by, and how soon we, too, would be proudly receiving our diplomas. 8

ADMINISTRATION-FACULTY TRUTH HONOR LOYALTY A school like Saint Mary's doesn't just happen. There are many people responsible for the efficient organization of its scholastic program. The managing of finances, the planning of a class project, the answering of a telephone, the repairing of an electric fixture: every task, big or small, contributes to the successful management of the school. We, the Graduates of 1962, whose ring bears the word Honor, wish to express our gratitude for the devoted hours and tireless effort of our priests, sisters and lay personnel who make up the Administration and Faculty of Saint Mary's Academy.
