Holy Mackeral WOW... I was no slouch in the jump roping department but wouldn't even be worthy of carrying her rope.....

Same here, @MacDUFF and @Q4u!

I thought I was pretty darn good at Double Dutch during recess (under the watchful eyes of the Sisters Mary), but THIS? Oh, my! I wasn't even close to being a contendah.

Whoa! Go, Jump Rope Girl!

If I tried that now, I'd probably snap my wrist before I got to the second jump!

MsL, the Sisters Mary would probably intensely dislike the use of this phrase, but...

Glad y'all enjoyed.

@ECBG

Did you jump rope back in the day?

@MacDUFF,Oh, gosh yes! We'd be between the Victorian school and the theatre/caeteria building under the massive ropes.

I remember my teacher in the second day was a young sister, and she lifted the long skirts of her habit and jumped with us!

This is the auditorium. The cafeteria was below. We jumped to the left. The building in the inset was the highschool and mother house which was to the right.

Below is the very large Victorian inn which became the main building for grades 1-8

@MacDUFF, there's something so exhilarating about someone taking such joy in, and excelling in something, no matter what! Great fun to watch!

@ECBG, some of those beautiful old buildings remind me of my old school, "Mary Street School". Only mine, unfortunately, has been mostly demolished, I think. Great memories though.

@Oznell,This has now been demolished too. On that site there is now a medical nursing building from the sprawl if our community college. It's good, though. One of our hospitals was the Sisters Of Mercy also.
