ST. ANSELM HALL TO REOPEN ITS DOORS AS A HIGH SCHOOL

St. Anselm will hold its own annual admittance exam, said to be one of the most rigorous of its kind.

A LEGACY OF THE OCCULT

Regarded as one of the most illustrious institutions of higher learning in the nineteenth century, St. Anselm Hall University closed down in 1896, after a series of rituals that resulted in the death of over twenty students.

The public is concerned about whether this will affect the reputation of the new high school, but the Board of Trustees confirms that the days of the occult are far behind.

Mrs. Levine, the president said, “We are happy to live in an age where people do not believe in such nonsense anymore. St. Anselm Hall will regain its reputation as a pinnacle of education.”

The townsfolk, however, are still skeptical. Particularly, members of the Reformationist church, whose families were the main contributors to shutting down the university. The town, it seems, is once more divided.
