PATTY AND JOYCE


Hello to All:

You wanted to see pictures of our newer uniforms and Sister Laurentine ............here you go!
Debby Wayman you should know that I really had to look to get these out of archives. Jan Argenta and I were partners in the Science Fair at one time. Blanche, Anne Doyle, April Heltsley, Patty Torchia, Joyce, Mary Monti just a few I found. I just know if you look closely you can tell what some of us thought of our play time! Volleyball, kickball and grabbing the communion wine were all a part of good Ole BS. Look at some of our signatures from when the report cards would come out in those manila envelopes. What about dodge ball where we wanted to really hurt each other throwing that ball! Then when you think about it I was nearly convinced to become a nun from Sister Deloria in 5th grade. I met my very first friend Zita Savitski in first grade on the very first day! Do you all remember where you were when you heard the news about President John F. Kennedy being shot? I do I was sitting in my first grade class with Sister Theodore as our teacher and the announcement came over the load speaker. You could have heard a pin drop! Then crying and we really did not know why! Then I met Mary Monti that year too! Remember the finger math creature in second grade.
Mr. Vlasic I could never forget you… how could I!! I wrote 1000 times the Bible verse Ephesians 2: 8-9 (look it up) because I shared my paper with a friend (who will remain nameless) and I got the holey paddle for that one! Bend over and touch your toes!!! How humbling, NOT!!!!!
Mr. Zagar was a great teacher. He taught me to express myself with writing what I truly thought and felt. That was a time in my life where writing really did the trick. I continue to do so till this day.

Something you may not remember me doing is being a part of the Talent Show dressed up as Louis Armstrong, in black face paint, white gloves and lips, black suit and singing “Hello Dolly!” If any of you remember that was not the best thing to do in an all white school. WOW, I did not win a prize! I hope that April Heltsley is around and remembers the verse we wrote together. Peter Reba my square dance partner.
I can go on forever! See what good memories this has brought upon us all.

Thanks for getting this off the ground and see you all soon.

Debbie DeLong!!!! Hello. I Know whatyou mean about being able to go on and on about B.S. memories and I was only there for 7th & 8th grade. Each day I watch the list of attendees grow and find myself holding my breath waiting to see some of the names that have fond memories attached to them. Today it was you! Those pictures are priceless, how fortunate you are to have those. I have my mother searching through her vast aray of photos and so far the only pictures she has are from the Fashion Show that our Girl Scout Troop held in the cafateria and of Graduation. However my memories cover many other events. I too recall my first day at B.S. and what about Harry Rodriquez's first day. Remember that coat he wore and what about his hair!!!! I have vivid memories of getting my ears pierced in the basement of Ruth Westforth's cousins house. The good old fashioned way. We rubbed 2 ice cubes over my ear lobes, held a potatoe behind my ear, and then drove the needle through!!!! And then having one of the earrings come out well past bedtime, unable to get it back in, calling Ruth's house in a panic, and Ruth & Nancy coming over in pajama's to make things right!!!
Weekend Slumber parties, prank phone calls, the pranks we played on each other when we fell asleep.
Jeff Kopil's 13th birthday party.
Oh, the list could go on and on, I think we already said that!!!

Hi Girls,
If I gave you a list of phone numbers maybe you could contact some of your class mates that haven't responded and see if you can encourage them to participate in the fun.

You have such great memories to share with all of them.
Should we give it a try?
Beth
