The Lennon Sisters in this Lawrence Welk episode represents an era of high standards, values and respect for one another. God help us now, with all the junk on TV today for our kids to emulate....what a shame for todays children!! Parents have to be so vigilant, and protect their children from the inappropriate, 'junk in -junk out' of today's media!

These young ladies are the Lennon Sisters from the Lawrence Welk show. And yes they are amazing.

Just close your eyes, relax and remember when times were so good. Very beautiful voices and I love the background scenery as would have been.

I remember Monseigner North when he was Father North. 

Remember, how quickly we all rose when he walked in the classroom? To this day, when I see a priest on the street, I feel like I should chant, "Good morning, Father," in that sing-song little-girl voice.

This looks like a Lawrence Welk episode. Very nicely done. I enjoyed that. Thanks for the memories. Although the memories of the show I never saw this performance until today.  I guess I am after this production.

Rose, Janet would have been in 2nd or 3rd grade in 1954. Kathy would have been a few years ahead of her, and then Peggy a year ahead of you and Diane a few years ahead of her. Oh well, yes, the nuns were intimidating. My twin brother and I used to get pulled out of class by Monsineur North and Monsineur Wade to serve funerals as alter boys all the way til 8th grade.

I know Peggy was one year ahead of me--It must not have been Janet I went to school with because in 1954 I was in 6th grade. Maybe it was Kathy who was behind me.

Sister Mary Assumpta used to threaten us with demerits--which scared the stuffing out of me even though I had no clue what a demerit was.

I really loved the hot chocolate and pastry we were served after singing for early mass though.

Rose, you must have been with Janet in second grade then, in 1954. Yes, I had Sister Mary Assumpta and I also had Sister Assumpta Marie (aka "SAM"). Those were a long, long time ago. Janet was one year ahead of me. I had Sister Agatha Rose in first grade. Did not have Sister Miriam Christopher. Fred
