Picnic for Sr. Jean Evans



















September, 2006, we had a picnic at Junipero Serra Park in San Bruno. Sr. Jean Evans was home from South Africa, and since it's difficult for her to make our reunions, we had a "mini-reunion" with her. From our class, in addition to Jean, were Elizabeth McLoughlin, Marlene McCann, Janet MacDonald, Donna Revelli, Bernie McCabe, Bonnie Blachley, and Joanne Hicks. It was a beautiful day in many ways!

Sr. Pauline Get-together



In March, 2008, Pat White, or now, Sr. Pauline Mary, visited the Bay Area. Some of our class got together with Pat at Janet MacDonald Heikel's home to hear about Pat's amazing experiences as a Carmelite sister working in Russia. We were all impressed with her courage and dedication, and happy to see she's kept her sense of humor.


In the group photo are, in front, Janet MacDonald, Sue Kiep, Rita Asturias, Clarene Vella , and Barbara Pape. Standing are Arlene Nuss, Stacia Horn, Joanne Hicks, ? a friend of Pat's, Pat White, Janice Clark. Seated are Diane DaCosta and Charlotte Watson.

'64 Republican Convention



The 1964 Republican Convention was in San Francisco and, as I recall, our government teacher (Miss McDonagh?) encouraged us to get involved and see the political process up close. I think about 6 -8 girls from our class agreed to participate and somehow we got connected with the Senator Margaret Chase Smith for President campaign. We were going to be part of the floor demonstration after her name was put into nomination. This was going to be pretty exciting - streaming on to the convention floor, waving our Margaret Chase Smith sign, amid all the cheering. I didn't know anything about her platform, but nominating a woman for president was revolutionary. Her campaign supporters were called "Rosebuds" because the Senator frequently wore a rosebud. The flower was on her campaign button. I remember waiting in a side hall of the Cow Palace as the convention droned on. They were getting way behind schedule. Finally I had to leave to attend a rather dull party that I'd committed to. I took my sign with me which is still hanging in my garage. I never heard how the convention went so would love to hear about it. By Joanne Hicks McGlothlin
