St. Charles in Postcards, 1951-1980

Photo	Description
Note: Postcard on is left, on right is photo of school after completion of the addition.	The postcard is undated. In 1962, a new annex was built north of and connected to the 1913 wing. It had a new library, an improved laboratory, a larger gymnasium, and a swimming pool for use by both students and sisters. Swimming lessons were offered after school and during the summer holidays. High upgrading and operating costs forced closure of the pool in 1982. So. too, with the 1962 wing, came a change in name for the school. It was decided that the school section of the Convent would be called St. Charles Academy and that the name convent’ would be reserved for the sisters’ residence. The sisters continued to reside in the “convent” part of the Academy (the second floor) until 1976 when they moved into the new residence on the river bank.
	The postcard is undated. Westward Motel, 3730 Portage Ave. (Buchanan Blvd.).. Circa 1970s. The motel is now part of the Howard Johnson Express Inn just beside (west) of it.
