St. Pat's offered classes from the 3rd to 8th grade. All students were boarding students. There were some day students from local towns. Harry Adams was the Drill Instructor, Prof. Robert Ortone was the Music Director and Band Leader. Angela Mena, who is Harry Adams Spouse, was the Glee Club Director. Monsignor. James B.
