I read all the messages with great interest. Kathleen (Hoverter)! I think I went to school with you at Elmwood. Mother Gabriel was a Saint! Her replacement was sent to try us. Sister Mary Benedicta!! remember now? She was the one that, when she caught you dogging school (not that I ever did such a thing) she immediately thought you were away doing things with boys. We had a lot of rules at Elmwood, one of which was the length of our skirts. When we knelt on the floor the skirt had to be 2 inches above the floor. One day when I was going up the stairs S. Mary B. hung on to the back of my skirt and tried to pull it down. She pulled me out of line and proceeded to scream and shout that my skirt was too short. The honest truth was that I had grown 2 inches in the summer and my mum had bought the skirt at a sale in C & A's. Anyway, I got away with it because I laid it on thick about my mum being a widow with six kid's, etc. Kathleen if you read this send me a mail!!
