ALBANY —- The dedication
of St. Teresa’s Church recently
was the fulfillment of the third
phase of a parish building pro
gram which began with the
erection of St. Teresa’s School
in 1950.
With this project completed
the parish set out to construct
a new convent. This construc
tion, as was the school, was done
under the supervision of the
Very Rev. Daniel J. Bourke,
V. F. who was pastor of the
parish at that time.
The Convent for the Sisters
Adorers of the Most Precious
Blood, who staff the School,
was completed in 1956 and dedi
cated on December 2nd of that
year by the Rt. Rev. Msgr. T.
James McNamara, Rector of the
Cathedral of St. John the Bap
tist, Savannah.
Father Marvin J. LeFrois and
his parishioners can well be
proud of the new St. Teresa’s
Church which was dedicated on
Sunday November 23rd in cere
monies presided over by Arch
bishop Gerald P. O’Hara. Alsc
taking part in the ceremonies
was Bishop Thomas J. Mc
Donough, Auxiliary-bishop.
The new church, located at
Maryland Drive and Edgewood
Lane was begun early in the
year and finished 4 weeks
ago. The first Mass celebrated in
the new building was celebrat
ed on Sunday, November 17th.
The church, with its exposed
redwood arches and weathered
brick is marked by simplicity of
design and soft color tones. Ac

ST. TERESA'S CHURCH, ALBANY
AS ST. TERESA'S SCHOOL WAS DEDICATED
(This Was First Addition to Parish Plant)
COLUMBUS — On Septem
ber 2, thirty-four students cross
ed the threshhold of the new
Holy Family High School. No
one knew what to expect; we
only knew that it would be the
very best. Scores of questions
were being “popped” at Sr. M.
Annunciata, R.S.M. — “What is
our schedule? Will we have a
football team? Cheerleaders? A
newspaper? Class officers? Class
projects?” And of course the al
ways present, “Will the other
schools recognize us?”
With the help of Very Rev.
Herman J. Deimel, Pastor; Sr.
M. Aurelia, R.S.M., principal;
Sr. M. Annunciata, R. S. M.,
freshmen moderator; Pat Col
lins, Athletics Director; and
Mrs. Robert Nelson, girls’ gym
teacher, all of these details be
gan to work out and all our
questions were answered in the
affirmative. Our schedule was
ready: English, Latin or General
Language, Algebra, World His
tory, Religion, Library Science
once a week, and activities. Fa
ther Deimel teaches Religion
and Mrs. Sam Sherrill, librarian,
is the Library Science instruc
tor.
Now this “activities bit” men
tioned on the schedule puzzled
us. What could this mean? On
Monday and Wednesday, we
work on a student newspaper;
Friday is devoted to a class
meeting; and Tuesday and
Thursday are gym days under
the direction of Pat Collins and
Mrs. Robert Nelson. Louis-
Market and Rusty Simmons
were chosen as captains of the
football team; Patty Sue Leon
ard, Peggy Turner, Bette
Deutsch, and Mary Murray were
chosen girls’ captains.
Needed, now, were class of
ficers and a newspaper staff. On
election day, Larry Mullin was
elected to the coveted office of
the first president of the fresh
men class. Chosen to assist Lar
ry were Mary Murry, vice pres
ident; Don Cowan, treasurer;
and Peggy Land, secretary.
These officers have done a fine
job carrying out their duties ac
cording to parliamentary pro
cedure. The class, realizing the
need for a good newspaper,
headed by a fine staff, selected
Bonnie Boyle, editor; Dan Mic
hau, associate editor; Paul
Wright, sports editor; Kurt
Krafski, art editor; Bette
Deutsch, exchanges; Steve Tek
ulve, circulations; and Johnny
McNulty, business manager.
“Name! Name!” cried the
staff. At a student’s suggestion
the name “Ho Fa Hi Lites”
(combining the first two letters
of Holy Family High) was pick
ed. Amid questions, work, and
rush, the first issue came out in
October. The four-page, mimeo
graphed copy, included news ar
ticles, features, and an editori
al, all of general interest.
When the boys started foot
ball practice, the girls got to
gether and asked, “What is a
football game without cheer
leaders?” With the help of Mrs.
Nelson, at a pep rally, six girls
were chosen to act as cheerlead
ers. This squad includes Patty
Sue Leonard (captain), Mary
Murray, Bette Deutsch, Rose
mary Brennan, Carol Hester,
Peggy Turner, and Little Miss
Mary Jo Connolly (mascot). The
ferocious nickname, “Vikings,”
and the blazing school colors,
red and white, both chosen by
the freshmen, were announced
at this pep meeting.
These red and white Vikings,
captained by Louis Market and
Rusty Simmons and coached by
Pat Collins, held a seasonal rec
ord of four wins and five losses.
Because of the experience gain
ed tins season, next year's fine
fighting team looks promising.
Under the direction of Rose
mary Brennan and Patty Sue
Leonard, who are Junior Red
Cross representatives, the high
school is conducting a magazine
drive for hospital patients. Oth
er drives and projects have been
planned for the holidays.
This year, under the direction
of Mrs. Leo Leonard, a Senior
Girl Scout Troop was formed
for the high school girls. Also
invited to join the troop were .
Catholic girls attending public
high schools. Officers, of this
group are Patty Sue Leonard,
president; Rosemary Brennan,
vice president; Patty Lagen,
treasurer; and Peggy Turner,
secretary. This kind of Scout
ing is something different and

exciting for high school girls.
Our group’s first project is Life-
Saving and Water Safety; after
that, flower-arranging is sched
uled.
Accustomed to and enjoying
changes and new adventures, we
were delighted when His Excel
lency, the Most Reverend Tho
mas J. McDonough announced
the NEW name of our high
school. In honor of the late
Pope, we are to be known as
Pacelli High. Thus a new era in
the history of Catholic educa
tion in Columbus has begun
with our high school under the
direction of the Sisters of Mer
cy of the Province of Baltimore.
Even though Pacelli High is
small, new, and strange to many
people, we are proud of our
school. We will work to make
our school proud of us. People
respect and depend on our stu
dents. Parents, students, and our
many patrons anxiously await
each issue of our school news
paper, “The Pacellian” (former
ly “Ho Fa Hi Lites”). A fully
equipped library and modern
sports facilities are at our dis
posal. Guided and assisted by
Pope Pius XII, our patron, we
will be a credit to our fellow
students, our teachers, parents,
and supporters. We realize that
everything has been given to us
through sacrifice, and we are
thankful.
