Print finds its way back home Before the Sacred Heart Academy structure was razed in 1969, the Sisters had an auction at which many of the contents were sold. Among the items was a sepia print of The Assumption of the Virgin, an oil painting by the 16th-century artist Titian. The print had hung in the entryway to the convent. In attendance at the auction was L. Claire Laughnan Armbrecht ’53 who saw and bought the framed image and appreciated it for decades. This fall, as she was trying to thin out her household items, she considered what to do with it. Some of the members of the class of 1953 meet annually and Claire mentioned it to the group who suggested perhaps it was time for the print to go back to its original home. Edgewood High School gladly accepted the print and appreciates having another piece of the school’s history in its hands once again.
