Bill, thanks so much for sharing this information with us.  Perhaps someone from the Class of 1951 knows who the missing teachers are?  If so, please share this information with the rest of your STA classmates by clicking on "comments" below and letting us know.  Thanks also to Charlotte Corcoran for providing the name of the nun in the "other" Third Grade classroom.  Just two more to identify.
