THEN
The Sisters of Mercy came to Co
lumbus, Ga., from St. Augustine,
Fla in 1862, and began their edu
cational work and ministrations
of mercy. The War Between the
States made it necessary in 1866
reorganize the work of St. Joseph
Academy which functioned as a
boarding school for girls until
1876 when circumstances forced
the removal of such a school to
Macon. Ga.. where a mission house
had been opened in 1871. As the
years passed, the school in Co
lumbus took on the character of
a semi-parochial school for boys
and girls. As such it has con
tinued to the present day.
AND NOW
This scholastic year 1942-1943,
with its added emphasis on the es
sential four “R’s”—religion, read
ing, ’riting, and Tithmctic; with
its never-ending endeavor to form
God-fearing, God-loving young
Americans; with its intensive
drives in behalf of the Red Cross,
War Bonds and Stamps, scrap,
tin. and grease; and with its all-
embracing campaign for prayers
for peace, rounds out eighty-one
years of service on the part of St.
JoseDh Academy.|
Five Sisters of Mercy are in
charge of the school: four in
struct the seven classes of the
grade school, and one devotes her
time to school music and private
lessons in instrumental music.
The enrollment of the school
averages one hundred twenty-
five. which number includes the
parish children and the children
whose fathers in the armed forces
are stationed at Fort Benning.
Among the latter may be found
children born in almost all of the
far-flung out-lying possessions of
the Uniled States. Here they are
gathered from North. South. East
and West. Among the last to be
enrolled is> the son of a member
of the French regiment in training
at the world's largest infantry
school—Fort Benning. Such a va
ried background among the pupils
lends itself to the fostering and
strengthening of good will and un
derstanding between those from
different sections of our own
United States and between coun-
tties. An attempt was made last
year to introduce the study of the
Spanish language in an effort to
equip the pupils with a medium to
promote friendliness among the
Americas. That aim is furthered
by the use of the Catholic Mes
senger which carry articles deal
ing with Pan American interests,
and stories with Latin American
background.
* As a new extra-curricula activ
ity. the first Girl Scout troop was
formed in the fall of 1942. The
girls have shown great interest in
their work ;V first aid, in action
as hostesses on various occasions,
and in serving in community civic
work
The children through their own
efforts gave generously to the Red
Cross drive in March, and con
tributed toward the Second War
Loan in April. The School De
fense Saving Committee reported
a considerable amount owned by
individuals in War Bonds and
Stamps, aside from those purchas
ed through them in the name of
tiie school.
By special request the chil
dren’s choir sang the Higli Mass
at Holy Family Church Easter
Sunday, rendering the “Mass of
the Angels" in a manner to call
forth highly favorable comments
from the parishioners.
A combination play and junior
musical recital on May 12. and tiie
senior musical recital on May 21,
both at the Catholic Club, re
flected credit on the youthful
musicians and their teacher. On
Juno 3 graduation exercises- will
be held at Holy Family Church.
