SAINT MARY’S ACADEMY 75TH ANNIVERSARY PHOTO ALBUM

SAINT MARY’S ACADEMY 75TH ANNIVERSARY PHOTO ALBUM

 

Painted in bold letters on the secondary school wall are the Latin words “ORA ET LABORA” which means “pray and work”. These words have been embellished in the memory

of many graduating achievers. The new school building was opened in the early 1960’s on Turkey Lane, Roseau, Dominica and replaced the old building that still stands on Virgin Lane across from the Roman Catholic Bishop’s residence.

 

The year 2007, marks the 75th Anniversary of Saint Mary’s Academy, a school for secondary education that was founded in 1932 by the Christian Brothers of Ireland who were based in New Rochelle, New York.

 

The photo album contains over 200 photos of students from the 1960’s and 1970’s. It is dedicated to Brother Stevens in recognition of his excellence as a Math teacher and his distinguished contribution to SMA and Dominica Basketball during the 1960’s and 1970’s. There are other photos of panoramic scenery of Dominica and of distinguished visitors like Sir Garfield Sobers who played Basketball at the SMA school grounds, and also the Royal couple, Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip during their trip,  in that era. Many of the photos include prominent men who have had distinguished careers over the years, after graduating from SMA.  We owe our many thanks to Brother Stevens for most of the photos and for making this album possible.

 

The sale of the photo album is coordinated with photographer and teacher, Mr. McFord Zamore, an alumnus of SMA (class of 1967) and a former Dominica and Windward Islands Star Cricket player. Most of the photos are numbered and a list of names is provided. With your purchase, a contribution will be forwarded to SMA for roof and classroom repairs. Upon purchase the album will be shipped to you from:

ZAMORE’S DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY,

New Jersey, USA.

 

We thank you for purchasing the SMA 75th Anniversary picture ALBUM. We are sure that the album will bring back great memories of Saint Mary’s Academy from the 1960’s and 1970’s.
