Girl Scouts
So this is Brownie Troop #136 Elmwood School 1958. I unfortunately don't remember the name of our leader. Some of the name of the girls in the photo are Carla and Lois Bliss, Barbara Mathewson, Rosemary Dunford, Charlen "Cookie" Santangelo, Leona Bulriss and of course me Judi Reagan Durling. Any more that you recognize?
Here we are again in 1959. Some of the same girls as above and also Jackie Brown, Karen Rydell, Janet Meade, Carol Barlett, Kathy Hertkorn and Linda Ely. My mother always put my hair ina pony tail and the little beanie hat didn't fit very well over the pony tail so she cut a round hole in the back of the beanie for the pony tail to go through. Also, Brownie meeting day was the same as gym day for me. Do you remember wearing the lovely blue gym suit under your clothes. It was under my Brownie uniform. Our Girl Scout troop was # 72 and our leader was Mrs. Phillips - mother of Patty and Penny. She was a great leader and we did alot of camping thanks to her.
Larger images under the cut.
I knew Charlene "Cookie" St Angelo very well we used to meet and go to confession at Lourdes once or twice a month. She was such a nice girl.
In the second picture is that one of Aloi girls top right second in?
In the top picture I think I recognize the two Dalton sisters. They live across the street from Lourdes school.
