It is also known as M.S.A.D. 24[3] and is located on the site of the old Saint Mary's College,[4] where the first report of the Armistice ending World War 1 was received in the U.S. on Father Thomas's wireless telegraph machine.

Louis Sockalexis played his freshman year of college baseball at St. Mary's before transferring to Holy Cross.

In 2012 the Van Buren M.S.A.D 24 Boys' Baseball team added 3 players from the Girls' Softball Team, senior Naomi Maldonado, sophomore Kayla Durette and freshman Amanda Sytulek, allowing the school to field a team in a year where many of the athletes chose the popular Van Buren H.S. tennis program.[5]

gollark: Basically, the majority of potatOS programs (all user-written ones) run inside a sandbox with (theoretically) no ability to touch the environment tables/filesystems outside the sandbox, but because environment weirdness, potatOS API functions execute outside it, as do PX programs.
