A 1959 photograph of the graduation ceremony of the Shamokin Catholic High School, Shamokin, Northumberland County, Pennsylvania.
Photo Caption: “Bishop Schott, members of the clergy, and frtiends are among the first to offer their congratulations to the graduates. This once-in-a-lifetime event will be a lasting memento of a twelve year Catholic education.”
Photo Caption: “Our goal has been reached – graduation day. Each senior is prepared to leave Catholic High and do his part to spread sound Catholic principles among those with whom he comes in contact. Bishop Schott’s inspiring words and a final note of encouragement to the prospective adults. A background of faith and knowledge will enable each senior to ‘spread His Kingdom on Earth.'”
