When one era ends, another begins. |
My graduating class graduated high school on the first of June, 1969. This was just a few weeks before the first humans visited the Moon. Here are the photos. (Of the graduation, not the Moon.)
My mom saved the programme from the ceremony, of course.
We also got our class picture in the paper. Unfortunately, since I didn't take it, I don't have a better version to show here.
But I did take photos of my classmates (and myself) in our caps and gowns, outside the school. These photos were taken in advance, of course, so they could appear in the yearbook. Please note that I've provided names for everyone by row, starting at the back, left to right.
I'm not sure why I took solo photos of Susan and John. Perhaps they asked? In any case, here they are:
This photo of Mary Steinberg was taken by her parents, outside the church at our actual graduation. I wound up with it because, just a few years later, we married.
And then…that was it for my experiences at St Joseph Academy.
Until I came back a couple years later to teach choir! But that's a story for another day.
