"Here's a note on Sr. Tarcisia: When
she had us in 5th grade ('47 - 48") that was her very first class
teaching. I think she was about 20 years old. One day she told us that
some nuns (supervisors) were coming out to inspect us. US! Bah! They
were her supervising teachers and they were coming to evaluate HER as a
teacher! I figured this out in later years when I became a teacher and
later a principal in the Chicago Public Schools.
Sister
T. spent days rehearsing clever things for us to do when they came and
sat in our class. She actually was an excellent teacher! She had a great
rapport with the boys - having grown up with brothers. One of her
brothers (Jan) was studying for the priesthood out at Mundelein when we
were in her class. He left before ordination (as I did)."

Sr Tarcisia seems to have no trouble making friends with the boys. It's easy to imagine her giving them boxing lessons.
