j ST. KATHARINE'S SCHOOL
The thirtieth session of St. Kath
arine's School opened Wednesday
with appropriate exercises. The
patronage this session promises to
be the largest in its history, many
pupils having already been enrolled
not only from home but from near
ly every slate in the South, and
others are expected.
St. Katharine's is an institution
of which Bolivar is deservedly
proud, and a short history of the
school will not be out of place in

holds' of the Church, and its work
and influence were not merely of a
local character, but extended far
beyond the confines of Tennessee.
During this period of prosperity
and religious activity, the people
pnjoyed for tweuty-one years the
earnest and devoted ministrations
of Rev. Dr. W. C. Gray (now Mis
sionary Bishop of Southern Florida)
who, as their Rector, labored tire
lessly for the upbuilding of St.
James' Parish, and to him more
than to any other earthly agency is
the Church indebted for the noble
work begun and faithfully carried
on. He early conceived the idea of
establishing a Church School for
Girls and his wish found modest re
alization when a day school was
opened in February, 1872, in a cot
tage owned by Dr. Gray, situated
in the northeastern portion of the
town. It was called St. James'
Church School for Girls, and Miss
Mary MyAnally was its first princi
pal, her efforts being warmly sec
onded by the Rector. The organ
ization of the School, its methods
and lofty purposes, at once appeal
ed to the people of Bolivar and the
enterprise received from the first
the hearty cooperation of its pat
rons and the loyal support and en
couragement of the Church.
The School rapidly outgrew its
birthplace, and found its cottage
home somewhat cramped and inad
equate for its work.
Accordingly, in the fall of 1872,
Miss McAnally removed to the old
Fentress home, located in the ex
treme southern part of Bolivar,
which was purchased by individual
subscriptions for the purpose of
erecting a Church School for Girls,
and was incorporated as a part of
St. James' Parish. The present
building was begun as soon as prac
ticable and was ready for occupancy
the following year, when the School
reopened with glowing prospects,
bearing the name ot St. James'
