I'm surprised at how many of my classmates had older siblings in the class of '54.
JC, my sister joined the Dominicans when she was 15, after sophomore year. I think my Dad would have shot any boy coming over the back fence.

Here is the 1970 St. Jude football program [[school year 70/71).

I absolutely loved the 70-71 program - remembered standing on the sidelines watching those games. Remembered all the players, and still wonder, as I did then, why the players had a different number for home vs. away. Also have a favor. My nephew is now at Lake Orion High School and plays football. Can anyone tell me how built up the town of Lake Orion is? The last time I was there, 1970, I was in Scouts at SJS, went to mass at the church Fr Ording founded and remember the area was way out in the sticks. Just wondering how it has grown.
you talking about the gift shop on the corner of 7 and kelly that had all those lamps in the windows? never saw anyone going into that place.
My friend came back from Adrian, MI where he took his daughter to start her life as a Sister, but didn't find out any names of St. Jude nuns. They do have a website that has a "In Memoriam" that goes back a few years and has bios and pix of those nuns who passed away. I saw maybe 4 I knew, including Sr. Francis Winifred.
Here Z, I was on it a while back:

Lake Orion is basically just another Oakland County suburb now. M24 is all built up and once you get off of I75 at the Palace and head north, Lake Orion and Oxford kind of blend into each other. They still have a small town feels in the downtowns, but 24 is really built up. North of Oxford, you start getting back to country, but even it's getting full of subdivision up that way.
I was looking at old Regina yearbooks for the gift shop, and came across a few ads that were interesting.

This one's for you, 7
Unless Pape's had multiple branches, I suspect not. I remember for a fact that there was a Pape's on the southeast corner of Kelly and Houston-Whittier, and I suspect that is the store you are thinking of. My grandmother was ENAMORED with that store and I remember spending many boring hours there. I much preferred the Cunningham's in the Civic Center right across the street from Papes.
By 1980, Pape's was out of business and had been replaced with a bike shop.
Yeah, we figured out that it wasn't Pape's. I posted that I found it was on Houston-Whittier up above.
