(Special to The Bulletin)
BELMONT. N. C. — Sponsor
ed by the Alumnae Association,
Sacred Heart Junior College and
Academy is launching a campaign
next month to raise $100,000 to
support a building program.
The proposed building program
is beyond the resources of the in
stitution. Up to the present,
these resources have come from
the services of the dedicated and
consecrated lives of the Sisters of
Mercy, and have been sufficient to
carry on the work of education
successfully without asking the
aid of others.
At present, very few schools
are self-supporting because of the
ever-increasing educational and
cultural demands. Unlike many
Institutions, -Sacred Heart has no
endowment fund, and the private
character of the school precludes
drawing from or seeking public
funds. Hence, it is necessary that
recourse must be made to its
alumnae, its friends, and all those
who recognize and appreciate the
great contribution the school has
made to Catholic education in the
past and what must be done in
the future by private colleges in
furthering the ideals of Christian
education.
For more than thirty years, Sa
cred Heart has been educating
girls and young women, and
among its graduates are many
persons prominent in public life.
Teaching, nursing, social work, li
brary science, dietetics, laborato
ry technique, law, accounting and
embalming, are some of the pro
fessions embraced. The two-year
course of study as outlined by the
college provides the necessary
foundation for such careers and
also offers a terminal course in
commercial work and home eco
nomics.
In the past decade the growth
of the college has been so great
that its facilities are overtaxed
and expansion is imperative. This
growth cannot be attributed to
the war years alone, but to the
industrial progress of this section
of the South and to the growing
consciousness of the need of high
er education. The G. I. Bill of
Rights is providing education for
thousands of young men and is
making young women college-
minded as well.
Sacred Heart has formulated an
expansion program which calls
for a dormitory building to meet
the demands of hundreds of stu
dents who are being turned awaj
for lack of space; a science build
ing; a library and an activities
building. The most immediate
need is for the activities build
ing to provide recreational facili
ties.
As planned, the building will
contain a gymnasium and an au
ditorium, a swimming pool, game
rooms, a bowling alley and social
rooms. The building will provide
rooms for recreational and physi
cal education and the rooms now
used for those purposes can be
devoted to dormitory space for
more students.
Sacred Heart Junior College
and Academy, conducted by the
Sisters of Mercy, is located in
Gaston County, North Carolina,
within the limits of the city of
Belmont and ten miles west of
Charlotte. It is one of the out
standing Catholic institutions of
higher learning in the Carolinas
and is fully accredited by the
.state educational agencies and
the Southern Association of Col
leges and Secondary Schools. Its
graduates have matriculated to
senior colleges and universities
throughout the country and have
achieved enviable success in bus
iness and professional life.
Sacred Heart School has grown
and improved through the years.
In 1897, the convent, chapel and
novitiate were built. In 1922, Vic
tory Hall, containing the audito
rium, private rooms and music
department, was added. In 1928,
the present administration build
ing replaced the original frame
structure. At that time the Home
Economic Building was also erect
ed.
Since then there have been
many improvements made to the
buildings.
The campaign now being
launched will continue through
February. Contributions are be
ing solicited as gifts, memorials
and scholarship funds. Those who
are interested may communicate
with local chairmen or with Mrs.
T. E. Baugh, chairman of the
Building Fund Committee, Sacred
Heart College, Belmont, N. C.
Local chairmen are: Mrs. G. R.
Williams, Charleston, S. C.; Mrs.
H. V. Norris, Wilmington, N. C.;
Mrs. Joseph Kelly, Savannah, Ga.;
