Hi.

What fond childhood memories are flooding through as I see a pix of St. Mary’s RC church! In the l960′s, I attended St. Mary’s Elementary School. Is the school still there, too? Across the street from the school was the convent and a small parking lot that sometimes became our playground during lunch time. The nuns wore habits (the “hat” looked like navy blue or black steeples); the rectory was between the school and the church; my first taste of a slice of pizza was from a pizza shop on Vernon Blvd. down from the church, thanks to Mary D. Memories are also of penny candies such as buttons on sheets; Bazooka bubble gum w/comics; shoe strings; Popsicle ice pops that let you break it horizontally in half so it could be shared with a friend… Are there any ole schoolers out there who went to St. Mary’s when we kids were afraid to be called into Rev. Mother’s office because she would call each of us “You bold thing!” before calling our parents who always sided with the educators?????

Hey girls, do you remember how we used to wet toilet paper and throw it onto the ceiling so when it dried it would fall off and hit some unsuspecting classmate (or teacher)? The statutes of limitation have been long gone for those infractions! Ah, fond memories! Take care :-
