GATHERING 2015 - 1974 GRADUATES

Last year, Christine Butler (Rossiter) organised a reunion for the girls who graduated with her in 1974.  It was a huge success and the ladies suggested doing it again.  Christine has once again taken the lead and is planning a gathering for May 2015.  To help spread the word and alert everyone to this event, I am posting details here.  Please pass the message to any classmates or teachers you know and make this reunion an even greater success than last year!

DONNA WALSH SENT US THIS PHOTO
OF THE HAPPY GATHERING LAST YEAR. 
WE LOOK FORWARD TO SOME PHOTOS OF
THE UPCOMING EVENT IN MAY 2015.

 

MISS ANGELA GREENE'S CLASS, 1967

 

Donna CONSTANTINE Walsh has sent this lovely picture from 1967.  It is Miss Angela Greene's Grade 3 Class.  They all look so neat and smart in their green uniforms.

 

AREN'T THEY CUTE?

Donna was able to give us the names of some of the girls.  Donna said:

"These are the names I remember, maybe someone can fill in the rest.
Top row L-R: #6 Kathie Donnelly, #7 Madonna Hearn
Next Row L-R: #1 Sharon Power, #3 Charmaine Maher, #4 Donna Constantine, #6 Eileen Mullins, #8 Peggy Pennell,
Second Row L-R: Mrs Angela Greene, #4 Cathy Foley, #8 Veronica Pitcher
Front Row L-R: #1 Yvonne Cullen, #4 Darlene Thomas, #5 Cathy Walker, #6 ?Ursula Jarvis, #8 Bonnie Mullins, #9 Debbie ( died in a house fire later that year)"

Oh Donna, that is so tragic about that little Debbie.  It must have been so very sad for all of you.

Thanks for the photo and the information that you were able to give us.  As you said, perhaps someone can help fill in the missing names.  And Donna, keep the great pictures coming, please.

**Thanks to Kathie DONNELLY Johnson, Debbie THOMAS Mayer and Judy Ann, I have a few more names to add.  I am grateful for your help ladies.

FORTY YEAR REUNION, 1974-2014

 

Donna Constantine Walsh has sent us details of a "Small but sweet gathering of some of the 1974 St Patrick's Grade Nine Graduates". 

 

This month marks the 40th anniversary of their Graduation so, on 1st June 2014, the group of classmates got together at the Woodstock Colonial Inn on Topsail Road.  Old friendships were renewed and Donna  says that "Oh my God!" and "You haven't changed a bit!"  could be heard as classmates introduced themselves.

 

Donna also sent the great photo which we are very happy to post below.

A good time was had by all and Donna hopes that more people will be able to attend next year.  I am sure that Donna  speaks for all who attended when she says that thanks are due to Christine Rossiter Butler for organizing the event.   

 

 

 

Thanks Donna for sharing this happy gathering with us.  If anyone has other pictures or stories you would like to share, we would love to receive them and if you send them to mcallistersmith@gmail.com we will post them here on the blog and on the St Patrick's Convent School facebook page.
