Sister Florence
Sometimes, I have a wild imagination, realized that in the 3rd and 4th grades. Sister Florence taught the 3rd and 4th grades, and from what I remember when she would talk about her life before becoming a “Nun”, that as a young girl she never smelt any unpleasant smells? It is odd the stuff you remember someone saying. She was writing a book, ” Topsy”, and every so often she would read a chapter to us in class, as a special treat! Sister Florence may have studied art because she seem to have lots of natural talent and ability , as in her class room there was an “art table” she had lots of paints and colored pencils to do almost anything in the creative field.
For every “Holiday”, she would have each of us students make something for our “Parents”, and since my Mother saved everything I and my brothers made, I now have some of “our Prize works of Art”!
My big break for writing came when Sister Florence, opened a box of “Pictures”, cut out from magazines and other sources in the 1940’s; she announced that we should take a picture from the box and write a story – something interesting and long enough to be of interest to our parents and all those who would be reading it on “Anniversary Day”
Sister , also said there would be a “Prize”! That’s all I needed to hear! A picture is worth a “Thousand Words”, I wrote “32” stories and won the “Prize”!
