Palm st. The school dates back to 1889 and Anaheim St. Catherine’s Military School Uses Military-Type Training for Youth By Jean S. White Anaheimers drive by the two hundred block on North Palm Street many times in the course of a week but few have a clear idea of what takes place in the impressive buildings cloistered behind the stooping palms from which the street takes it name. Amid the hubbub of a city lately grown around them, sisters of the Dominican Order quietly attend the task of turning small boys into Christian gentlemen. St. Catherine’s Military School began in 1889 as an rephanege, has been a boarding school for Catholic boys since the late twenties. The school takes up two city blocks and has extensive facilities for two hundred cadets. These boys range in age from seven to fifteen years and are sent to the school by their parents from as far afield as Nevada and Mexico. The majority come from the Los Angeles area and there are several who live in Anaheim. Entrance requirements are based on good physical health and average intelligence. charge of the excellent military training and resides on the grounds with his family. Mr. Resta who started the Long Beach Symphony supervises the band—the band which for the third consecutive year has come from the Huntington Beach parade with first prize won in stiff competition, with school bands from all surrounding districts. So keen is the competition for places on this twenty-five piece band that most of the cadets enthusiastically take music lessons. Since wind and percussion instruments are the favorites, the practice room is appropriately heavily insulated. INSTILLS EFFICIENCY We had the permission of Sister Verona, Priore and head of the institution, to visit on Saturday when many of the boys had gone home for the week-end. “We find that military training instills efficiency, good habits and order,” said Sister Hilary, principal of the school, as she took us on a tour of inspection. companies having been forcording to the ages and abiding by the boys.

MORTIAL MUSIC Martin music breaks the quiet every afternoon as boys take to the drill field to practice new formations for the annual June Drill and Closing Exercises. Nearby residents have come to look forward to the ruffle of drums and the blare of the bugle that heralds these battalion practices made colorful with the flags waving, band playing and cadets in full uniform.

He has Underground Dam Okawa SACRAMENTO (CNS)—A water conservation measure which if it finally is adopted undoubtedly will have an important effect on California's economy has been somewhat unobtusively passed through the legislature. This measure is SB 1462, by Sen. Fred H. Kraft of San Diego, which in its original form appropriated $425,000 for an experimental underground dam in Mission bay, San Diego county. During the 1951 legislative session, the legislature appropriated $750,000 for experimental work looking toward salt water intrusion along the California coast line. Experimental Wells State division of water resources officials told the senate water resources committee, headed by Sen. J. Howard Williams, Tu-lare county, that these funds primarily are being used in experimental wells in the Manhattan beach area. Simply put, the engineers are attempting to determine whether, if they bore a well and pump water into it, instead of out of it, the added underground water supply will have the effect of stopping the intrusion of salt water from the Pacific ocean. Theoretically, they believe this may be one means of preventing the intrusion, as there was no other barrier in the days before hundreds of wells were drilled along the coast, and the first wells of course were reasonably sweet. Sewage Water Used The problem, however, is whether they can get enough water to feed the underground supply to make the project economically feasible. Meanwhile, they are experimenting with reclaiming sewage waters from the crowded areas along the Southern California coast to supplement the dwain Military School for Youth companies having been formed according to the ages and abilities of the boys. Cadets move up through the ranks from private to captain as their good conduct and leadership warrants. The rising hour is 6:45 on weekdays and a bit earlier on Sundays to allow time for Mass.

Field trips are arranged for his fun as well as enriching experience. He takes part in a comprehensive sports program with other boys of his own approximate weight. A member of the California military sports league, the school maintains a large gymnasium and swimming pool and has a well filled trophy room to prove prowess in football, basketball, and baseball as well as swimming and gymnastics. CHAPLAIN. When his Eminence James Francis Cardinal McIntyre suggested that the Rev. Father William Maguire, a former navy chaplain, become chaplain at St. Catherine's, he wrote: "St. Catherine's is a fine school. The Dominican Sisters for many years have trained our youth to become Christian gentlemen and exemplary citizens." Since becoming chaplain, Father Maguire sees no reason why Archbishop McIntyre should want to change his opinion. Because it is a military school, Father Maguire feels that its chief aim is to teach boys how to grow strong in love and faith of God and country and the true meaning of the words, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life."
