The one in the middle used to teach 5th grade at St. Monica I swear. I still have ruler indents on the back of my head from her. I think that photo might be fake...those nuns appear to be smiling. The nuns I knew never would think of smiling.
Yikes... it’s so odd you said that! I also went to a parochial grade school called St. Monica in the 50’s! The only memories I have of nuns is how they went out of their way to antagonize and frighten the hell out of us with the occasional, but always inevitable smack in the head. This is how I more or less still see them as I walked into school each morning (minus the smiles on their faces).The one in the middle used to teach 5th grade at St. Monica I swear.
