w, hither I walk I cannot define, but I know We have been taught here at Wildwood Catholic that life is a constant journey toward God. This Spring three who were very close to us reached the end of that journey. Sister Ann Leona, Sister Saint Gertrude and Wil- liam McKee met God through automobile acci- dents. Bill McKee, a Senior, died on April 12, 1969 while attending a post-prom picnic. Sister Ann Leona, principal and Sister Saint Gertrude, English Department Chairman and moderator of the Ann- script were killed in an accident on the Garden State Parkway on May 9, 1969. From these three we learned that the best prepa- ration for life hereafter is to live this life to its fullest. In our sorrow we also realized that we who remain here at Wildwood Catholic need one another. Sister Ann Leona’s friendliness put nearly every- one at ease. With her quick quips she lightened our days. Sister Saint Gertrude was a confidant with whom we discussed our uncertainties about life beyond Wildwood Catholic. She taught us to “be- come a little less monotonous”. Bill McKee, who was the first to sport a ‘GI’ haircut, was most com- fortable with a basketball in his hand. The memory of Bill’s joy of life and sense of humor helped con- sole us when he left. The loss of these three friends has taught us that there are areas in the human soul that are un- explored until we walk through them in sorrow.
