Lol! Forget to genuflect when Sister Mary Holycard used the clicker? And, if you have not done so, this is MUST reading for all of us who grew up back then.

Available through Amazon.com. This is the first and best of two books written by former catholic school students.

I did not go to Catholic School. We had release time on Wednesday at 2 PM and was with the Nuns until 4 PM.

On Friday AM we had Miss Young read scripture to us and this was in Public Schools. Tuesday morning was Assembly and Miss Kelty read scripture opening the assembly.

Sunday morning was 9 AM children's Mass and we all went to our seats in the class we were in. At 10 AM up to our class for instruction until noon.

The Nuns treated the release time kids the same as the Parochial School kids. We did our kneeling time and had the cliques down pat.

The worse part was Fr. Mulz our Pastor. He had the children's Mass. If he saw someone talking, smiling or something not in accordance with the Church's rules, he would stop the Mass, have the Nun get the kid in the aisle to kneel for the rest of the Mass.

I went to communion once and had my elbows on the altar rail. We were only to have our hands in view with today's lost art of having our hands together in the prayerful way.(I forgot what it is called) He came along and knocked my arms and me a few feet away from the rail. I never again did that.

After going through all of the previous, I wonder how I survived? I expect to meet Fr. Mulz and all the sisters in the future and thank them for their patience with my friends and me.
