Church Interior is Recognized by Granddaughter of Artist

http://johnamallin.com

The artwork, so beautifully captured by Dan Carr (Class of 1960) in his photos, of the interior of St. Thomas Aquinas/St. Martin de Porres Church is the subject of a wonderful website honoring the artist responsible for the design and execution in the early 1950s.

Kathy Mallin, granddaughter of John A. Mallin, notes on her website her grandfather was responsible for decorating more than 100 churches, many of them in the Chicagoland area. Patrick Reardon (Class of 1963) provided some of the history of the Church for the section on St. Thomas Aquinas.

To read more about the artist. as well as a little history of St. Thomas Aquinas, take a moment to view the website at http://johnamallin.com/

Thank you, Kathy Mallin, for sharing your wonderful research with us.

Diane Hallinan, Class of 1960, shared this wonderful photo from 1938. Her mother, Adele Boutet, is on the end, left, second row. Her Mom's sister, Ethel Boutet, is next to her in the white sweater. Seated with the x on her (front row, far right) is Bernice Hallinan. Top x (back row, third from the right) is Marion Hallinan. Diane's mother married the Hallinan sisters' brother in 1943.

Small world!!

They were separating the boys and girls in 7th grade as early as 1938.  And, managing to teach 46 adolescents girls all in one class.

Graduating Class of 1971

A note from Darlene Coleman Cox to the Class of 1971:

I miss STA, plus the fun times we all had together with Mr. Cook, our Teacher. I wish to get some school records because my house got burned and lots of my things got mess up in the fire. I found this picture over web! You're guys made my Day! Happy Valentine's to all my buddies! Miss you're all! Darlene (Chatter box) - that's what you called me in school! Smiling! See y'all

Darlene would love to hear from her classmates and possibly plan a reunion. Please contact her
