LAST HIGH SCHOOL CLASS AT HOLY ROSARY. There were 31 graduates of 42 total who showed up for their 40th reunion party at the Mission Restaurant. This was the last graduating class at the high school.
Organizers Susie Sposari and Barb Brandt hosted the 40th reunion of Holy Rosary High School's class of 1971 at the Mission Latin Bar & Restaurant Saturday night, Oct. 15. This was that school's last high school graduating class, and 31 attended the party out of a class of 42 graduates. They were located where Lutheran High School now is.
Many attending remembered, and honored, classmate Jeannie Borchert who passed away at age 19 in a tragic car accident on Snoqualmie Pass.
One attendee who came to the reunion, said she had once attended Sisters of Providence in Seattle for two years to become a nun. So why did she leave the convent?
"I decided I wanted to live with people other than women," she recalled. "I like guys. I found I could do the very same thing and yet still have the benefit of a good relationship. Also, I wanted a golden retriever."
