I was only 3 when this class graduated. Those surviving students are now in their late 80's. Once again, there are numerous familiar family names in that class when Hamilton Township was much more rural, and less heavily populated.

1936: HOLY ANGELS GRADUATING CLASS

1989: HOLY ANGELS, BATMAN; A REUNION!
Grammar school reunions seem to be getting more difficult as more and more folks opt to stay home. Some years back, we tried to organize a Hamilton High School Reunion event, but alas, there were absolutely no takers. The attempt was abandoned, and Lorraine Feehan May, Carol Bencivengo, Manny Butera, Tom Glover, and others who made the valiant attempt folded our collective tents and went on our way. As to the Holy Angels Reunion, I see Phillies Phanatice Freddie Schulz in the group. I would bet that right about now Freddie is down in Clearwater Florida watching his favorite team playing spring training baseball. Incidentally, many of us miss Father Mike Walsh; one of the most charasmatic Priests to come down the pike in a long, long, time.

1987: Holy Angels 1944 Kindergarten
That's the late Msgr. Michael P. McCorristin on the left in this photo. Through the years, the "Iron Mike" was very close to Monsignor Edward O'Keefe, with whom he served as the clergy at Holy Angels for many years.

Holy Angels School's First Graduates
MONDAY, JUNE 18, 1923
THE FIRST GRADUATES OF HOLY ANGELS SCHOOL
Commencement exercises of the Holy Angels School were held last evening in the church, when thirteen pupils were given their certificate which mark the completion of their grammar school studies.
The program was opened by a hymn of thanksgiving to the Sacred Heart, and this was followed by a hymn in honor of the Blessed Virgin. The Rev. John F. Walsh, pastor of the church, gave a stirring address, and then presented the pupils with their diplomas. The program was closed with benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament,
Diplomas were given to Misses Katherine Dalton, Margaret Cleary, Helen Peeney, Marie Chinery, Margaret Stevenson, Caroline Brooks, Catherine Ward; Vincent Weiss, William Hogan, Fred Wollman, Benjamin Walters, Philip Booz, and Charles Mullen.
Medals given by Vincent P. Bradley to the pupils with the highest and second highest class average In the eighth grade were awarded to Katherine Dalton and Vincent Weiss for the highest average, and to Margaret Cleary and William Hogan for the second highest. A medal given by the Holy Name Society of the church to the pupil whose deportment and general helpfulness to the school has been exceptional during the year, was awarded to Benjamin Walter. The medal given by Father Walsh to the student having the highest average in the seventh grade was awarded to Elizabeth McClain, who also received the Palmer diploma for penmanship.
Father Walsh selected for the text of his address that portion of Scripture, “He that instructeth others unto Justice shall shine as the stars for all eternity.” He declared that the parish was especially proud of these its first graduates and would watch their climb up the ladder of education with interest and best wishes for success.
Speaking of the great need of parochial schools, Father Walsh cited Trenton as an instance where the Church, as a great friend of the State, has relieved her of the education of 9.000 children in this city alone. With schools crowded as they are at present if the parochial school children were to ask for admittance, the school situation would be unimaginable. He declared that the parochial schools are founded to develop the two component parts of the child, the soul and the body, and for this reason noble women consecrate their lives. Without the aid of the Sisterhoods, it would be Impossible to maintain the many schools throughout the country because there would be no funds to pay the salaries which would then be necessary. As it is now the Sisters ask but for food and shelter and, as Father Walsh pointed out, during the past year the Sisters of the Holy Angels School had not even a home for each day they were transported from St. Francis Hospital to the school.
Father Walsh declared that in closing he could apply no more beautiful word to the sacrifice and work of the Sisters than the word of the infallible God who declared that “He that instructeth others unto justice shall shine as the stars for all eternity.”
