My picture files are chuck fulla quirky small items that I intend to share, but which don't merit a whole post by themselves. Here are a few of them--a batch of
These four little faces should be recognized by all good Catholic school kids in the forties and fifties. Take a few minutes to ponder, but naming two of them is good, three of them is remarkable, and if you know all four, you probably googled it.
For extra credit, tell us your most memorable episode from their books.

M'k--remember the post where we speculated about where Margaret Naber got her wedding flowers? At the time (1913), there was a milliner in Buckman, but like brides everywhere, the tendency to upgrade might have kicked in. The next nearest hat shop was in Little Falls and was owned by the Sand sisters. We'll probably never know for sure which shop provided those flowers. However, we only have a newspaper ad from ONE of them.===== Speaking of newspapers, here's a snarky bit from the St Cloud Times in June of 1909. I wonder if the use of the word "journal" here had anything to do with the eventual name of the Pierz paper?_______________________

This photo hangs in the new Buckman Hall (sorry about the glass glare). The priest in front on the left is Fr Ray Donnay, who shared the title of town constable with Math Hesch. His name was in the Buckman News column pretty often in those years.
With just a quick skim of this wonderful photo, I see Sr Joyce, Sr Teresita, Sr. Severine, Fr Leo and at least one of the older Mischke priests. See the sister in the fourth row up, on the right? I think that's Sr Laura, and Sr Mamerta was most likely there too.
They all look so proud to be home that day!

OK, these two will help answer the first question up there. I remember being fascinated by how careful you had to be pronouncing "are our" so people didn't think you were saying "are are"...honest!
