EB, I remember one nun that they called Bozo. Was that her? |

Nope, she may have been before your time.
Her name came up at the ND dinner last Sunday. |

Incidentally, if any of you want to get a line on nuns from our past, I have a very good friend who is an Adrian Dominican. She never taught at SJS but she's in her late 70s, maybe 80, so she would have known most of them. |

Well, I have to admit I'm drawing a blank on most of the nun's names, but the most politically incorrect nickname I can remember is Deadfish. In my day she taught 5th grade science.

I'll wait until tomorrow when more of the slackers are at their posts.

I'll post these again for the newbies to the group since it's become almost impossible for anyone to go back through this thread and catch up on everything that's been discussed.

Still amazes me that a whole pizza was $.99 as recently as the early 70's. I found some old ticket stubs the other day from the Music Hall dated Dec. 29, 1975 for the play '1776' and the price for Row L, seat 15, mail level left center was $7.50.
I won tickets to Sarah Brightman at the Palace a couple weeks back, and the main level seating was $147.50 per ticket.
WTF happened, man. The 70's weren't that long ago, in the greater scheme of things. I'd love to know how much a theater ticket was in, say, 1942 so I could compare the COLA factor there. |

Ok, I think I've found what every St. Jude-o-phile must have on their Christmas list. Ok, maybe not, but I couldn't resist ordering a copy for myself. It's a recording of church music, a portion of which was recorded at our very own St. Jude. Has anyone else heard of this? If you're interested, it's £ 17.00, plus £ 3.25 postage. I'll let you know what that means to you and me when I get my credit card statement.

"Bozo" was Sister Ellen Therese, the meanest nun of all time. We made up a song about her to the tune of "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" in 1964. I won't print the words here because this site is rated PG.
She once punched me in the ear because I was talking during May Crowning practice.When she asked me my name and she didn't understand my response, she punched me again.This was before I was in her class.

My sister had her too, and said she was the witch from hell.
EB, you are supposed to tell us who your politically incorrect nun is |

SR. William Patrice was called Willie the Jap. She had a slightly Asian cast to her features.
She was probably long gone by the time you got there.
In those days, with WW2 still fresh in everyone's memory, the perjorative for Japenese folks was still considered acceptable. |

I remember Sister Robert Marie as shorter and older too ----and since we're admitting stuff, I swiped the 5-115 room sign - which as J indicated was our homeroom - Mrs. Warzyniak.
I got a Christmas Card from Sister Paul Therese yesterday (6-130). She's still doing well. Started a writing dialog with her after the St. Jude All School reunion a few years ago - same with Sister Marie Christine. |

My God, I thought they were ancient 40 years ago. Those habits must not have been age flattering. If they were as old as I thought they were back then, they'd be 120 now |
