 Boys were not seen within the walls of the Academy again until 1915 when, by special request from the archbishop, they were accepted into grades one and two until 1950.Enrollment at the girls school increased rapidly and the first St. Mary's Academy on Victoria Street was soon filled to capacity.In 1876 a second small house, called The Annex, was erected, but continued overcrowding necessitated a move to larger quarters on Notre Dame East in 1881, to which a wing was added in 1892.
