Roman Reminiscences might be the title of this picture, since Doctor Geo. johnson of Catholic University, His Excellency Archbishop Spellman of New York, and Monsignor Bonner are alumni of the Roman College. The presence of these three illustrious alumni marked with distinction the high school Catechetical meeting. M. Donahue and M. Downey with their escorts E. Smith and K.
