School Days: My First Communion - 1955

There we all were, the second grade posed on the front steps of St. Rita's School. (As Mother's note states, just barely visible at the bottom, I was eight years old.)

[From my personal collection]

Because I was always among the short kids, I was positioned in the front row, fourth from the right.

I attended St. Rita's for nine years, K-8, as did most of the other children. I'm currently Facebook friends with several of the girls and someone (from a different grammar school) who I went to high school with married one of the boys.

Sister M. Dominica was generally considered to be "mean" although I don't remember her that way.
