Our Superlatives

Like all high school senior classes, the Father Ryan Class of 1969 had our Class Prophecy, Our Last Will & Testament and, of course, our class superlatives.

In the remaining few weeks leading up our 40th Reunion, I plan to take a moment to look back on all those things here on the blog, starting first with the photo below.

It's not one of the usual superlatives voted on by class members. It's Mike Curley, who one day during class our senior year was designated by Sister Mary John as "Most Thoroughly Disgusting." I can't remember why she was mad at him (and I sure she got over it, as Mike was an excellent honor student in the honors class). But it's a nickname that stuck.

And Terry Shelton "immortalized" it when he placed this photo with the tag line "Most Thoroughly Disgusting" in our 1969 PANTHER YEARBOOK.....

I will be traveling the next few days for a family graduation so postings may be a bit sporadic. But please leave me your thoughts here on the blog about our days at Ryan or send them to me by e-mail (pat.nolan@dvl.com).
