Class of 1939 Photo

In 1939, the Great Depression was nearing an end and the U.S. had not yet entered into World War II, making this an era at CSF of lightheartedness and optimism. Seniors from the class of 1939 enjoy the spring weather out on the quad. (l to r) Evelyn (Mintert) Schanzle, M. Ruth (Kerper) Tofanelli, Margaret (Zabrowski) Palinski, Olive (Pommier) Ross, Patrice (McShane) Austgen, Marie (Ribordy) Fogarty, Novita (Moddrel) Crockett, Minola C. (Williams) Sturm, Elizabeth (Assell) Wallers, and Frances (Fencel) Fordyce. The USF Library Archives was fortunate to have help in identifying the people in this photograph. Mrs. Minola C. (Williams) Sturm (third from the right) celebrated her 70th class reunion this fall and kindly sat down to look through Archives photos from her time at CSF. Her information helped solve the mystery of "who?" in quite a few of our unidentified photos. Many thanks from the USF Library Archives.

USF History Book

The USF Library Archives submitted a book proposal to Arcadia Publishing in October. This book would be a part of Arcadia's Campus History Series and would visually chronicle the history of USF. We just received word that Arcadia has accepted our proposal! We will begin work soon and hope to have the book published and available by Homecoming 2010. Go Saints!
