The Very First Graduation -- 1966


This is the only graduating class photo that the school didn't have. They have individual pics of the grads, but the photo of them all together went missing. The school gave up looking for a copy of this photo in 1996.

Teacher (and former student) Maureen Moloney who is writing a history of the school initiated a quest to find this photo. I am pleased to report that Bonnie Chisholm had a copy of it, along with a program of the names of the graduates. Unfortunately, we cannot put the names to the faces.

A copy of this photo will now join all of the others at the school, and the school will have a complete set of photos of every graduation class since it opened.

If you can identify the people in the photo from the list in the second scan, please leave a comment. Thank you.

All photos can be enlarged by clicking on them.

Update from a reader:

I moved to McLaughlin before grad but started out with this first group. This should be pretty accurate ( a couple of the girls might be mixed up - perhaps someone could doublecheck)
BACK ROW ( L - R )
Peter Valks, Pat Drumm, Ted Marks, Jim Verall, Ziggy Martenyk, Bob Lambe
MIDDLE ROW ( L - R )
Lydia Krysa, Anna Grills, Lynn Conlin, Carol Lami, Sylvia Semiana, Paulett Babineau, Mary Byrne, Patricia Kahn, Mary Kirkland
FRONT ROW ( L - R )
Bonnie Chisholm, Mary Grygorcewicz, Christine Shaw, Sister Anne, Sister Mary Shiela, Frances Johnson, Anne Ivanko, Catherine Tenhaaf

Thank you.

  2. actually it's not Peter Valks in the picture, but his younger brother Henry...Peter didn't come to the school until a couple of years later
