Comments made in the year 1955 (from Anna Kostro)

For many of us this was "our" year....so hope you enjoy. Anna




"I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, it's going to be impossible to buy a week's groceries for $20."

"Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won't be long before $2000 will only buy a used one."

"If cigarettes keep going up in price, I'm going to quit. A quarter a pack is ridiculous."

"Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging a dime just to mail a letter?"

"If they raise the minimum wage to $1, nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store."

"When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost 29 cents a gallon. Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage."

"Kids today are impossible. Those duck tail hair cuts make it impossible to stay groomed. Next thing you know, boys will be wearing their hair as long as the girls."



"I'm afraid to send my kids to the movies any more. Ever since they let Clark Gable get by with saying 'damn' in 'Gone With The Wind,' it seems every new movie has either "hell" or "damn" in it.

"I read the other day where some scientist thinks it's possible to put a man on the moon by the end of the century They even have some fellows they call astronauts preparing for it down in Texas."

"Did you see where some baseball player just signed a contract for $75,000 a year just to play ball? It wouldn't surprise me if someday they'll be making more than the president."

"I never thought I'd see the day all our kitchen appliances would be electric. They are even making electric typewriters now."



"It's too bad things are so tough nowadays. I see where a few married women are having to work to make ends meet."

"It won't be long before young couples are going to have to hire someone to watch their kids so they can both work."

"Marriage doesn't mean a thing any more; those Hollywood stars seem to be getting divorced at the drop of a hat."

"I'm just afraid the Volkswagen car is going to open the door to a whole lot of foreign business."



"Thank goodness I won't live to see the day when the Government takes half our income in taxes. I sometimes wonder if we are electing the best people to government.

"The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice weather, but I seriously doubt they will ever catch on."

"There is no sense going to Lincoln or Omaha anymore for a weekend. It costs nearly $15 a night to stay in a hotel."

"No one can afford to be sick any more; $35 a day in the hospital is too rich for my blood."

"If they think I'll pay 50 cents for a hair cut, forget it."

Know friends who would get a kick out of these? Pass it on!

Tom,

I stumbled upon the OLA blog site. I attended OLA from first grade to eighth grade (1975 to 1983).

I am in touch with a few fellow classmates too. I would like to have access to the web site you crafted.

Merry Christmas OLA!

Characteristics of Colorado Blue Spruce Trees: Colorado blue spruce trees typically reach a height of 30'-60' and spread out 10'-20'. Their silvery-blue needles are prickly to the touch and aromatic. The pyramidal shape of Colorado blue spruce trees makes them a classic choice for Christmas.

Thanksgiving Reflection

Let me ramble

The first thing I want to do is to welcome the class of 2005 into our midst. Periodically I will send out a few thoughts for you to consider. I hope you enjoy them and pass them on, if you feel that can speak to family or friends.



It has been a while since I sent out the last reflection. A lot has happened since then. A group of students, faculty and alumni went to Lourdes France where we helped the sick, and where we became quite involved with the whole program. It was a wonderful Faith experience for all of us. There has been a lot of sickness in my family of late, so it has prevented me from sitting down with a clear head, to share a few valuable ideas. Things are settling down now and I have my head together, so here it goes.



THANKSGIVING?

Hurricanes, tsunami, tornado's, family illness, war, terrorism, bombings, hunger thanksgiving? What is there to be thankful for? Last night I was talking with my sister Eileen and we got to talking about my Aunt Julia and how she brought so much joy to the family. In her own small way Julia became the care giver in our family. A tough life never married but loved and cared for all of us. This morning my palm pilot went off at 7:15am to remind me that it was the anniversary of her death. I read reflections from Creighton University every morning before Mass and this morning the author was talking about his Aunt Fredia and about passing on the Faith to the next generation. Aunt Frieda was stricken with polio but always had a smile on her face and if anyone had a reason to be bitter and angry with God she did. Fredia and Julia spoke of their faith and trust in God, they made cookies and took care of us. Personally my faith was influenced by Julia. She passed the faith on to us. Parents pass the Faith to their children, older alumni/ae pass the faith on to the younger alumni/ae and students. “Not for school but for life.” Older people worry about younger people they love, because they want them to see God and to know God as we do. Christ said to pass on the truth to the next generation, but is Generation X,Y and Z getting the Faith? We cannot force anyone into a relationship with God. This is between them and God and they have to work it out.



Hurricanes, tsunami, tornado's, family illness, war, terrorism, bombings, hunger thanksgiving? What is there to be thankful for? I read these words over again and I see all the pain and suffering in the world – I want to jump out the window. I can’t explain it….but…. WAIT…. STOP... look around before you jump. I need to open my eyes and see the love that exists before I jump. These events which hurt us and others so much seem to bring out the best I people (and the worst too.) We say the Jesus Christ is Love, God is Love. If that is true and I believe it is than people who love manifest God’s presence here on earth. They are the tangible manifestation of God’s love. What do we have to be thankful for? Try this on for size: people leave their jobs to rebuild homes in New Orleans, raise money; Tsunami and tornado's bring people together to help strangers; my brother Neil and my brother-in-law Bob are sick, my nephews and my nieces and their families and myself have all rallied around these events to help my sister, our new care giver get through all of this…what a manifestation of Love. The people who went with me to Lourdes to work with strangers in a language they did not know showed these people how much God loved them. I hope you get the picture. Generation X,Y and Z are receiving the faith loud and clear. This is what we need to be thankful for on this Thanksgiving day. We thank God for all the people who show us how much God loves us, and if we are in pain in our families we need to look at those who are there to support us and thank God for their presence in our lives.



So enjoy that Turkey and have blessed Thanksgiving Day with those you love.

Bro. Pat Hogan.

(2) Does anyone remember Sister Barthalomew? (in reply to 1) I went to OLA from 63/68. I don't remember a Sister Barthalomew from back then maybe 62 was her last year. The principal was Sister Paula. I had Sister Paul in fifth grade I know she changed her name later but I cannot recall. Sister Timothy taught 7th in 1963 and later Sister Ignatius and of course Sister Joseph in 8th. Sister Louise maybe in first? Old age is setting in I cant remember. Have you received notice about the 50th celebration planned for 2007?I live in South Florida now but I was at OLA last May and it looks great. Back in '79 I visited and was shocked at how run down the church was. I am glad to see that its being taken care of.

(4) Does anyone remember Sister Barthalomew? (in reply to 3) Hi MicheleActually I moved to New Jersey in 1965 but my father worked close to the school and the sisters let me stay until I graduated in '68. Went to high school in West New York, NJ and a year after graduation moved to Miami. I love South Florida. Although I like visiting my daughter, she is Worcester,MA at College of the Holy Cross, I don't think I could ever live in the north again. The same day you wrote back to me I was actually flying north. I was cold...When I left the temperature was in the 80's and lets just say the nights in Worcester were not spring like at all. I know my daughter is looking forward to coming home....Take care, Berta

Carol and Who?

Classmates.com and HPphoto.com

Camelia,

I'm sorry to say that I deleted your last posting in error. Apparently I clicked on the wrong link. Sorry about that. Yes, I uploaded 15 of our photos to Classmates.com. 15 is the maximum number. We seem to have a lot of hits at Classmatews.com and was hoping that by uploading photos and providing a link to this Blog, we may find other interested Alumni. I noticed that Santiago Carreras logged onto Classmates.com. You are correct, we have 147 photos uploaded to HPPhoto.com and donot have a limit there. If there are photos from the recent OLA reunion, please upload them to HPPhoto or send to me and I will upload. To log into HPphoto.com, the user name is OLA1969 and Password is OLA1969.

Keep cool.
