Class of 1965 50th Reunion

On October 24th, 28 members of the St. Thomas Aquinas Class of 1965 met at Brian Boru's in Forest Park to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their graduation.  Old friendships were rekindled, and it seems like a good time was had by all.  Pictures and memorabilia brought back memories of a different era.  Conversation flowed and a lot of "catching up" was done.  Hard to believe that 50 years had passed!

Our response for attendance has exceeded our expectations!  We would be so happy to connect with more of our classmates with whom we have lost touch.  If you can help us "find" any if these names, we would greatly appreciate it!

We have extended the response date to October 5, but need to finalize with the venue soon after that date, so please let us know if you plan to attend. Open to friends, spouses, and significant others of the Class of 1965 also!

Can you help us connect to these classmates from 1965?

Class of 1965 Reunion in the Works!

The St. Thomas Aquinas Class of 1965 (and friends of the Class of '65) will be gathering in Forest Park on October 24th for a 50-Year Reunion! 

If you are a member, or have a sibling, friend, or relative who was a member, please forward this or send contact information to Mary Ann (Whalen) Kadow at maryannkadow@gmail.com with STA in the subject line. 

It would be so wonderful if we could get as many members to attend as possible!

First Honors/Perfect Attendance 1960

Each year, at graduation time, students from all eight grades with "first honors" and "perfect attendance" would be listed in STA's Church bulletin.  On Trinity Sunday, June 19, 1960 this was page 2 news!!!

Do you remember these STA students?  Perhaps when you see them at the next reunion, you can give them a belated "Congratulations!"
