random photograph #18

This obviously fake photo tries to give you the impression that Senor Wences was a part of the Language Dept.

hamburgers

I am running out of photographs...I am now down to a final few...I call these my hamburgers photographs.....this obviously phony picture to the left depicts Sister Marie de Lourdes checking out J. Wellington Wimpy in the school cafeteria. Everyone just called him Wimpy and while he is appropriately dressed in a white shirt, tie and jacket, hats were not permitted to be worn.

The photograph on bottom left depicts an orderly hamburger dinner for Junior 6 home economics class.

Some things haven't changed in forty years, such as the love of a good hamburger. Yes, even the whole family.

There was a fast food joint down on the Boulevard where some classmates found employment. It was the Stop N Go.

regrets from the west coast

The Blogosphere received this personal note from a classmate on the West Coast who is unable to attend.

It was so good to get the invitation to our 40th class reunion. Regretfully my wife and I will not be able to attend......Please say hello to Teresa DeMarkis, Dave Cunningham, Jim Morgalis, Joe Murton, Kathy Keating, John Dougherty, Jerry Yeasted, Mike Fanelli and so many others...my cup runneth over. I am sure there are so many other classmates whose names escape me, but hi to everyone and I wish the best for all.

Best Regards,

John

From York

Hi,

I can't print out the invitation but I shall be there!

Peggy


This note came from York, Pennsylvania the where the the Continental Congress met in in 1778 and approved the Articles of Confederation, the first document to refer to the "United States of America." Enough history trivia already...York is noted for the Weightlifting Hall of Fame and the weightlifter that greets everyone passing on 83. We are certainly glad that Peggy will with us.

Time is running out. Get your reservations in right now or email your intentions. We just had a donation of an Elvis Impersonator who will entertain from 4-6...

Hi from Montgomery County

Hi...I will definitely be there...thanks for tracking me down.

Maureen

Pottstown, PA...often mistaken for Pottsville, Pa...the birthplace of Daryl Hall....situated in Montgomery County....home county of Patti Labelle and Bill Cosby.

The Discipline Office pop quiz

Is the caption of this photograph:

A. "Operator, give me Beechwood 4-5789."

B. "Operator, what do you mean, 9-1-1 hasn't been invented yet?"

C. "You have the wrong number...This is not the Butterball Turkey Hotline. It is the Nativity Discipline Office."

D. "The so-called note your son dropped off is not being accepted. Being 'sick of school' is not a valid excuse for being absent."

E. "Is this Angelucci's Pizza Shop? I would like two pepperonis, with extra cheese, delivered to the Discipline Office."

E. "This is the Discipline Office....It is for Nativity students only. Sir, you have to be a student here to be disciplined. I suggest you try the yellow pages."

F. "Matt, I want to put one hundred dollars down on Tampa Bay."

G. "No, this is not Ms. Cleo; this is the Nativity Discipline Office. But I can predict your future...detention for one full week."

H. "Is this American Idol? I cast one vote for...Fantasia."

I. "Barnes and Noble? Do you carry 'Punishment for Dummies?' "

H. None of the above.
