Commencement is a time of summing up and giving thanks.
Both sentiments are expressed in the following letters received from Sister Agnes Alich 54, professor of chemistry, and which we re excerpting with permission of the authors. The first letter is from Kathy Petron 99, written upon her graduation in May 1999, to Sister Agnes. Following it is Sister Agnes response. Dear Sister Agnes , As my St. Scholastica career draws to a close, I had to look back and reflect on my time here. The last time I would walk in the Valley or Chester Bowl, hang out with certain friends, or greet classmates in the hall.
