...shown up for the observance, including teachers, students, nuns and visitors like Pat Wall. They listened intently as Sister Ann Ida Gannon, the school's president, greeted them: "This day will be a failure if most of you let it stop at 4 or 5 o'clock. Today is only a beginning." It was a thoughtful group, not one inclined to swallow any spoon-fed dogmatism.
