Autograph Memories pg. 5

Walter Anna – William – Joseph – Bozo – Billy Anna,  one would have to guess these are the legal and  ‘nick names’  – Billy Anna  wanted the whole world to know  –  belong to him.  He and two (2) of his sisters, Elsie and Marie Anna,  sat  at the table next to us.

Jack DiMaggio, signed in with a “Roses are Red” and etc.  poem, and I’m guessing this is also the  Jack Dillard  just clowning around?

Sister Florence,  (08-04-49)  was  our 3rd  and 4th grade Teacher  and a very good artist.  She helped  all the Orphans with creating a very nice greeting card for their parents for all the occasions throughout the year. When the ‘100th Anniversary” was to be celebrated with a Pageant of its founding on the  Kiel Auditorium – Opera House (06-05-1950)  –  Sister Florence gets the credit for teaching the dance steps to all of us kids! She was up on her toes  –  showing us how to dance and move with professional ease.

Sister Seraphine,  was  one of the best all time “Nuns!”  Sister was in charge of  he Girls Clothing room and the whole dormitory floor, the cleaning of everything beds, mattresses, and two flights of steps. I know because I worn out my knees  scrubbing  and putting down the paste type wax! We thought we were having fun dragging the mattresses out on to the outside balconies to be freshened up for another year’s use?

Every Friday after school, on my knees scrubbing two flights of stairs,  if  Sister Seraphine was not such a good  Nun to work for   –  I would have been the first to complain!
