Hi Mary Ellen- It has been fun checking the SM website-you have done a great job! The picture of the Boys academy tho may have the wrong date. I think a lot of those guys were around my fathers era and dad was born in 1918. Just a thought....Mary
I've double checked the Centennial Book that St. Mary's printed and it says 1901 - it also stated this picture was an original picture of Hanford Topham - so if one of the Tophams could double check this that would be great! Thanks - Mary Ellen
Mary - I researched a bit - Hanford Topham was born in 1894 and Alfred N. Slaggert was born in 1896 - so I think the 1901 year is correct. Mary Ellen
