O K Girls, here is the one you have all been waiting for! It is Sr Immaculata's Grade Six Class, 1958. This picture is pretty special because this is the one that made it into a Mission Magazine! I can't remember which magazine it was but perhaps someone can help me out with that. Why was our picture in a Mission Magazine? Well, because we sent a GREAT DEAL of money to the missions that year. I think we used to call it "Buying babies". Thank God none of them ever arrived!
Sr Immaculata was a great one for fund raising. Remember how someone in each row was appointed collector and every day that poor girl had to collect money for the missions from the girls in her row? Then on Friday, whichever row Sister had extorted the most money from - oops, sorry, slip of the tongue! I meant to say, whichever row had donated the most money that week, had a homework free weekend. Oh Joy!
Here's a puzzle. Can anyone tell me why, whenever I watch "A Christmas Carol" and poor old Jacob Marley's ghost appears fettered with all those chains and money boxes, I think of Grade Six?
