In addition to the usual athletic-
and other equipment found on the
grounds of leading academies, in
cluding first-class tennis courts, St.
Joseph’s Academy has one of the
finest swimming pools in the South,
60 by 20 feet, graded to three feet,
and fed by artesian wells which
keep a constant supply of crystal-
clear water flowing into it at the
rate of hundreds of gallons a min
ute. The pool is located in the
middle of the grounds near the ten
nis courts.
In addition to the classical and
general course, St. Joseph’s has a
complete commercial course, and the
excellence of these courses is indi
cated by the fact that the school is
affiliated with the Catholic Univer
sity of America and accredited with
the Southern Association of Col
leges and Secondary Schools. Its
alumni association, to which many
men and women distinguish in many
fields in the South, is one of the
strongest organizations of its kind
in this section. The record of (. e
graduates of St. Joseph Academy ip
the greatest tribute that could be
paid to the untiring, scholarly ef
forts of the Sisters of St. Joseph.
