Do you have a list of teachers at St. Raymond's from the 1950's? I'm trying to remember my teachers' names in first through fourth grades 1950-1954, approximately. Thanks if you can help with a roster. Boys and girls mixed together in those grades, then. I had nuns for first and fourth, lay teachers for second and third. My name is Nugent, Susan.
