Autograph Memories pg.6

Theresa Wieland, a classmate who was a very good friend, and years later after she had been the Editor of the Alumni News, talked me into taking over the job for her.

Shirley Nivois (02-05-49), one thing I remember – you always were proud to let the world know you were from Illinois, and said so in my book.

Stella Santoyo (06-26-49), a class mate and a very good friend – you also wrote your birth date June 6th, and I wish we would have given each other our addresses so we could have kept in touch? Your #90 and mine #91 – some things one never forgets!

Rayetta Ludwig (02-13-49) – the 13th of February is also my brother, Tom’s birthday. I always admired you and all you were able to do at the Orphanage, and you made me so happy to sign as my friend. Your handwriting is beautiful and on the next page your favorite Nun Sister Gilbert, (02-02-49) wrote in on my Dad’s birthday and also ground hog day.

Sister Gilbert (11-11-50) was my 7th and 8th grade teacher and I wanted to get as many Nuns to sign in before leaving, Sister wrote in my second book and above her signature, Your Teacher! Years later – may have been a picnic date, Sister wrote under her previous signature Sister Margaret Mary (06-13-75) since she changed her name due to a reorganization at the ‘Mother House’ and some of the other Nuns also changed their names. I like the name Sister Margaret Mary – much better!

(06-13-75) was a picnic for Alumni and I brought my family out to visit and did pick up a couple of the Nuns Names – that I did not get a chance to get when I was living there!

Autograph Memories pg. 7

Elsie Giacomo (02-04-49) signed in as a “Friend” and wrote – “You make me giggle – You make me laugh – Just to think – You want my Autograph” and 2 good + 2 be = 4 gotten – I’m sorry I just do not remember You???

Mary Wright (sister of James Wright) wrote about – Be this if you can’t be that – and the finish – “Be the Best You can Be!” Like your handwriting and your last name. “How can you ever be ‘wrong’ when You are so Wright!”

Barbara Henry (04-05-50) ( sister of Tom Henry) Have to give Barbara a gold star on her report card – back then a gold star was worth 15 cents – one for calling me “Dear Mickey” – and I don’t know how many more , for adding “Love” when signing your name, Thanks!

Margie Herlitska (Maggie Moore – Lefty) I need to find the photo of your Freshman Class of Laboure High Initiation day on the entrance steps to St. Vincent’s – it was a terrific remembrance! Also that was a “superb” job as a “Chronicler” in the Pageant at the Kiel Auditorium – Opera House!

Norma Jean Reavis wrote on the last page of the autograph book something about it being saved for the “Lover” the heck with him – let him write on the “Cover” Not a chance of us getting into the idea of Lover stuff – the “Nuns” had us so busy with work and all the getting ready for the “Pageant” learning lines and practicing dance steps for the big one day performance in “Of Such is The Kingdom” – for the “100th Anniversary of Saint Vincent’s – June 1950.”
