ST. PATRICK'S HIGH SC'HOOL T. PATRICK,S High School and St. Patrickis Grammar School was scheduled to open its doors for the first time, September 20, 1926. All preparations were made for the opening day and all the classrooms were in readiness. September 18, 1926, brought the hurricane which wrought much damage to the school buildings. But by persistent endeavor and much hard labor, the school opened a week later, with an enrollment of twenty pupils. ' The pupils were accommodated in converted polo pony stables, where they remained until this year when the new school was built. The next year, St. Patrick's High School became affiliated with the Cath- olic University, Washington, D. C.
