I smile every time I see this photograph of my mother and her friends!😊
As teenagers, she and her closest cousins loved the beach!
Lindbergh Bay, Magens Bay, and Lindquist Beach were their favorites!
This photo, with Sister Grace Imelda, was taken at a beach party for the celebrating graduates of Sts. Peter & Paul High School.
Graduation Day
The ceremony was held on June 5, 1953, at the Catholic Church and many of her classmates received honorary awards.

Albert Harthman, Richard Martinsen, Erik Pedersen, Mercedes Greaux, Diane Mawson, Marlene Mawson, and Valerie Melchoir received the Catholic University of America Diploma Awards.
Those week-long graduation celebrations gave Marlene and her sister the fondest memories!
