 We started as fresh faced innocents, and progressed together for
some of the most important years of our lives. We lived through some turbulent times,
including the war in Vietnam, peace protests on campus, New Math and the heavy hand of the
"Spirit of Vatican II" reformers. Along the way, together we passed a number of
important milestones: First Communion, our first boy-girl party, our first boy-girl party
with a post office game, Confirmation, eight grade social dance class and continuation. We
will always be the St. Vincent's eighth grade class of 1974, and this is our memory page. |
