Class of 1959

We, the Class of 1959, celebrated our 50th reunion on April 24 and 25, 2009. This blog is about sharing memories of our class reunions and a long-ago life at our Alma Mater, S.F.X.A. and S.A.H.S. Good memories of days gone by but not forgotten! A gift to my classmates. ~Marian Ann Love ~

The Silent Generation (Born 1928–1945)

The silent generation famously got their name for being so conformist that they were silent through the McCarthy era when the fear of Communism swept the country.1

During this era, kids were expected to earn their way through life using a strong work ethic.
