Graduates of the Class of '66 have wonderful memories of their school years.
Roz Rice Slavik remembers one of the sisters getting her veil caught in something and, "we saw her hair. We always thought nuns were bald."

"The best teacher I had was Sister Lurana (Sankovic)," Frank Podsadlo recalls, "even though I had trouble with her."

Other favorite teachers who are fondly remembered by their former students are Sisters Dorothy McDaniel (Harold Marie), Carolyn Campbell (William Mary) and Joan Charnley (Joseph Andre).

Dorothy Zynda-Snyder, who organized the July 29 class reunion, knows that her education helped her succeed. She "developed a sense of service to others, lifelong friendships and a deep respect for the IHM Community and their spirit."
