Blessed Sacrament Reunion

Welcome...This blog site was created to provide a forum for Blessed Sacrament Alumni to reconnect and share memories. It's our hope that reliving the laughter and recalling the antics can bring us all back to a time when life was so much less complicated!

The day we discovered the Nuns had legs!

Does anyone else remember the day we came to school and all the Nuns were sporting new hem lines! They went from habits down to their ankles, all the prior years, to just below their knees overnight! It was a startling sight! AND...if that wasn't astonishing enough...they also removed the white cardboard from their foreheads and bared their hairlines. I remember Sr. Eymard's was salt and pepper with texture that resembled that of a mannequin! And didn't Sr. Laurentine have bangs? What a day that was....and after all that, to think they expected us to pay attention to academics!

I think the shorter hem line gave us girls permission to hike our skirts even higher don't you???
I remember Sr. Laurentine always patting her bangs in place when ever she got upset. Which was all the time.
I do believe I saw her pull out a mirror once to check them.
Such vanity for a nun, who was she trying to impress, hummmmm????
