Schools Days

. My dad wanted to send us to a private school so we went to Our Lady of Lourdes which was where we went to church. I went there from 1st – 8th grade. I enjoyed

going there we had small classes and I knew everyone in my class, the only thing we the nuns most were nice except for the one that I had in fourth grade,

She wasn’t nice her name was Sister Ann Theresa she was always getting after someone for one thing or another. There were only 35 kids in my graduating class.

After graduating from OLL, I went to Raytown South Junior for 9th grade, it was hard I was use to going to a big school with so many kids. After 9th grade I

went to Raytown South High School from 10th- 12th grade, that was even harder it was even bigger, I was use to have to from room to room to get to my classes.

I made some new friends but most of my friends from OLL went to Raytown High so I really missed them. Classes were hard and the kids were not that friendly.

I graduated from South in 1973 with over 600 kids, I was so glad that High School was behind me, I decided to go to work instead of college, so off to find a job.
