Excerpt from Idyls of Lakeside The college, of which the brilliant Reverend Hugh Monohan was vice-president, was for years a successful institution and a source of the highest moral and intel lectual uplift in the community. It is gratifying to note that the educational tone and aspiration engendered by the college and' the convent influences of the past are still in evidence among the people of St. Joseph and vicinity Where the best traditions have been kept alive and fostered by Reverend John J. L'ally, who for more than thirty years has been its beloved pastor. St. Joseph has also the distinction of being the original abode and novitiate of the sisters-servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in the diocese of Scranton.
