"A Sound Mind in a Sound Body"

Sports continued as normal during the World War One years. St. Procopius College boasted teams in baseball, basketball and football. Additional sports facilities included handball courts and parallel bars on the grounds outside. Students could swim in the slough and there was also a bowling facility in the woods nearby.
