St. Ignatius' School First Grade Class

St. Ignatius Parish was the third church founded by Padre Pinto following the establishment of Sacred Heart and Immaculate Conception Parishes. Its history is intricately tied to the development and growth of the Segundo Barrio. The original chapel became the basis of St. Ignatius School with two large classrooms and a hall. The now familiar façade of St. Ignatius, designed by the architectural firm of Trost and Trost, was completed in 1921.By the time a new school building was completed in 1919, St. Ignatius was the largest Catholic school in El Paso with 750 students. The school was administered by the Sisters of Loretto from its founding until 1957 when the Servants of Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Poor took over the administration until the school's closure in 1974. http://archive.elpasotimes.com/news/ci_24400333/father-pinto-established-st-ignatius-parish/

Hi! I went to this school from 1969 to 1974, when it closed. I would really like to get in touch with my classmates. My last year was fifth grade. I still remember some of the names, but have no idea where to look for them. Hope you can help me. Some of my teachers were Miss Mejia and Mrs. Taylor. Our principal was Sister Rose. I have great memories there. I made my First Communion there also. I don't remember having yearbooks, do they exist?
