I got a request from Maureen Moloney who is the ex officio historian at Monsignor Paul Dwyer High School. She tells me that they are looking for copies of vintage yearbooks. The need for a 1972-1973 yearbook is quite dire. For many years, there were copies in the library, and students would sign them out, cut pictures out of them, draw mustaches on the nuns and take out pages.
So if you had a bad time in high school, were dumped by your high school sweetheart, were emotionally scarred by your high school experience or never got a grade higher than your shoe size and have bad memories of the school, why not donate the yearbook back to the school? Why not let posterity see how dorky your classmates were?
Maureen says that she will put a big cast iron plaque on all donated yearbooks and indelibly inscribe your name as donor (and not on the bathroom wall either).
Even if history (or your kids) will never remember you, you have a chance to have a relatively modest place in posterity. Write me: ochsblogger-at- (use the @ sign) rocketmail.com.
Shnorhagallem and merci
Ken
Note: ALL years needed. 1988 is a mess too if you have a copy that the school can have.
