  Mr. McCLINTOCK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 150th 
anniversary of St. Mary's Academy in Grass Valley, California. Since 
its first day, St. Mary's has provided outstanding educational 
opportunities to the children of Nevada County.
  The Academy was founded in 1859 by Father Thomas J. Dalton, Pastor of 
St. Patrick Parish in Grass Valley as a school for the growing Nevada 
County area. The Academy has served as an orphanage, a finishing school 
for girls, a high school, and a grade school. Today the school offers 
kindergarten through eighth grade education.
  As our community gathers to celebrate this auspicious occasion, I am 
proud to recognize 150 years of service and excellence and thank those 
who have worked to keep the Academy open and thriving.

                          ____________________
