But 1975 graduate Rosemarie Denton expressed disappointment and said she will not send her daughter, a seventh-grader, to the school. "Apparently the liberals have taken over, and they can have it," Denton said. "When you say you're a Catholic school, then you should abide by the teachings of the Catholic church."

And, there you have it .. Apparently the liberals have taken over, lead by Sr. Regina Marie. Here are some of the other items being auctioned off. Definitely not a typical middle class school. Check out Item #7. Cavier??? Sister, I believe the correct spelling is Caviar.

Ummm...auctions at the private schools auction what they can get. This is the stuff that was donated and usually is not solicited.

Two of my brothers went to a Jesuit HS here which holds the granddaddy of all private school auctions (over $300,000 every year). They auction what is given. They've auctioned cars, racehorses, pure-bred dogs (the one ruling my house came from this auction), antiques, sweatshirts, dinner parties, trips, you name it.

My guess is they came up with the theme after the donations came in. Decorating is the easy part.
