HI MAC....LET ME SAY THIS ABOUT THE SISTERS AT ST. JOOACHIM'S, YOU CAN'T FOOL AROUND WHEN YOU'RE LEARNING FOR YOUR COMMUNION. I FOUND THAT OUT IN THE 20'S WHEN I WAS THERE WITH THE REST OF THE KIDS FROM THE BURG. REGARDS.
Hi Ralph:))
And from stories from friends who went to St Joachims in the 70s and 80s you still couldnt mess with them Sisters. A fine school that mattered so much to so many in days long ago:)
Hey Mack, great pic of the nuns. I had sister Alma when attending Catechism School. She was a vey warm and compassionate nun which made learning very easy and enjoyable.
Best regards
Thank You Vince:)
OH boy this brings back nightmares....the beatings with rulers, face slapping, pinched ears and the hard punches to the side and back of the head. The nuns beat the he** out of us and for most of us... for no good reason and I was one of the quite kids. Yeah in the early 60's it was bad. I have to go take some zanax now to relax..I get chills every time I see pictures of St Joachim's school. "I survived Roman Catholic School" but I have the mental scars to prove it.
Mack, Thank You Oh So Much. I was at St Joachims from '55 to '61 and had many of the Nuns as teachers seen in the photo.
I'll never forget Sister Matilda. She was a jewel of a teacher. May she Rest in Peace.
I just "loved" kneeling on bean bags...
