In August 2010, a group of St Patrick's girls held a reunion. It was fifty years since they left St Patrick's so there was a lot of laughter and a few tears as old friends and classmates got together. I have been sent some pictures of this happy occasion so I will post some of them for all to enjoy.
By the way, if you are planning a reunion, get together or other function involving St Patrick's, if you let me know the details, I will happily post them here.
In the meantime, I hope you enjoy these photos from the 2010 reunion. (CLICK ON THE PICTURES TO ENLARGE THEM.)
This is the reunion cake. Mary Kennedy has informed me that this beautiful cake was made by Tom Greene. Tom is the obviously talented husband of Florence Furey. You got a winner there Florence! Thanks for the information Mary.
Two popular teachers, Miss Fagan and Miss Howard, cut the reunion cake.
Doreen Walsh provided some excellent entertainment with her singing and guitar playing. My first memory of Doreen entertaining us goes back to Miss Murphy's Kindergarten Class. Doreen entertained us then with her singing but she wasn't playing guitar. She played the Spoons and we thought she was amazing - which, of course, she was!
Entertainment was also provided by Mary Kennedy and her Line Dancing Friends. Even after fifty years, St Patrick's Girls can still cut it!
Thanks to Betty Simms for these photos.
Even though I didn't go to St. Patrick's I find the pictures very interesting. Still seeing old faces of girls I remember quite well. Great joy.
