Fall 1963: Welcoming the Class of '67

Here are a few more 'Golden Nuggets' welcoming the incoming Class of '67 in the October-November 1963 issue of The Shield.

"My First Day at St. Bernard's" by members of the Class of '67!

As long as we are talking about the Class of '67's First Day at SBHS... here is another little gem from that same Shield issue: "My First Day at St. Bernard's" by members of the Class of '67! Do you believe it? You can't make this stuff up! Thanks again, Noreen Bluemling, for sharing this little Treasure Trove!

The Class of '67 September 4, 1963

This pic is taken from the cover of the October-November 1963 issue of The Shield, posted here earlier today. This photograph marks the first published evidence of the arrival of the Class of 1967 to the Broad Street campus. Betty Garvey appears loaded down with books, while the young woman at the right seems completely unburdened. Was this part of 'Freshman Orientation", i.e., freshmen being required to carry the books of upperclassmen, wear beanies, etc., or was Betty Garvey just very studious?  ;) It looks like Anne Flynn at the center of the pic, but can anyone identify the person to the right?

UPDATE: I was perusing that Shield issue, and tucked into page 2, I found that cover photo identified thusly: "The Class of '67 September 4, 1963". Therefore, I believe that was actually the very FIRST DAY of our high school careers, and those are indeed all freshmen in the pic. And apparently Betty Garvey really WAS that studious! ;) 

The Class of 1967 arrives. "The Shield", October-November 1963.

Freshman Class Officers and High School Life Circa 1964

OOPS! Here is another pic from the 1964 Crosier that I somehow overlooked: Freshman Class Officers at the very top! Plus a few thematic pics showing what high school life was like back in 'the olden days'!

Dennis Kent, Lawrence Crowley, Marinell (Mimi Cushman Gillen) Cushman, and Joseph Kennedy.

Final Pics of the Class of 1967 in the 1964 Crosier

Here are the last pics from the 1964 Crosier in which members of the Class of 1967 appear. You will note that in several of the pics the folks are not identified by name ...... but we know those faces, don't we? Noreen (the Photo-Bomber) Bluemling and Marguerite Stoffel Glidden are both in there, and that scrub-faced cherub in front of John Hazlin is Yours Truly! Ah, 14 was such a great age! ;)

Tom Schuch, John Hazlin, another Senior and then Kevin McKenna, I think.
