School Days

   I thought it would be fun to capture some details of life at SPX in the 60's. I will try to get things started but I am sure there are folks out there who could add all kinds of interesting things to my list. So, if anyone sees this and has memories to add, please feel free.
 
   We never wore sneakers to school. Always leather shoes with our uniforms.

   On the first day of school each year the floors were waxed and everything looked like new.

   Sometimes we would be called out of class to serve (as altar boys) at a funeral mass.

   There was always a flip chart at the front of the room with religious pictures.

   Boys and girls seemed to exist in different orbits.

   We had exams in January and June that came from the diocese (Catholic school standardized exams)

   Some kids actually went home for lunch, the rest of us ate at our desks.

  Everyone had the same lessons every day.....no matter how you were doing in school.

   The class sizes were pretty big, ours was about 40 but others were as large as 50+.

   We sat at the same desk all day every day for the whole school year.

If you have a memory to add please enter year of graduation and your submission
