“It looks like my classmates and I are raking leaves in front of St. Clare Academy. I think we were in our Freshmen year attending St. Clare Academy. We enjoyed being outdoors, especially during the Fall season, and I remember raking leaves and then jumping in the piles. Fun and light-heartedness made our task most worthwhile,” remembers Sister Brenda Rose Szegedy, pictured in front row, second from left.
