We’ve lost a member of the CTK class of 1976. I was in cub scouts with Frank and played baseball with him as well. Rest in Peace, Frank.

A Celebration of Life for Jim McNamara

09/18/2022

It is with much sadness that I share that Jim McNamara passed from this life last week. He was a member of the class of 1976 for all eight of his elementary school years and also attended and graduated from Bishop Ward High School. I understand that there will be a service planned in the future (most likely in Louisburg, KS, his home for the past many years) and I will post details as they become available.

The class photo is in the downstairs hallway in the older part of the school building, between Mrs. Bernardi’s 6th grade classroom and Sr. Johanna’s 4th grade classroom. It obviously has seen a lot of light and is quite faded. 91 students! We were a large class! A thanks to CTK Socialites for a wonderful Alumni event this evening, complete with school tours.

This was from 14 years ago, but I thought that I would post it, since I found it:
Nov. 4, 1916 - Nov. 30, 2006 Clara L. Bartkoski passed away on Thursday, November 30, 2006. A Mass of Christian Burial will be 11 a.m. Monday at Queen of the Holy Rosary - Wea, 227th and Metcalf. While at the gathering of family and friends 2-4 p.m. Sunday at D.W. Newcomer's Sons Johnson County Chapel, please take a moment to visit the Enduring Memories booth to create a personal remembrance for the family that they will cherish for years to come. Rosary recitation will be at 3 p.m. Sunday at the chapel. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the Women of Wea (Altar Society) at Queen of the Holy Rosary Church, 7021 West 227th Terrace, Bucyrus, Kansas 66013. Online condolences may be left at www.dwnewcomers.com. Clara was born November 4, 1916, the youngest of eleven children, in Pierce City, Missouri. After graduating from Pierce City High School, she attended SW Missouri State and received her BSE degree from Avila University. Clara taught in a one room schoolhouse in the Pierce City area during the late 30's. During the war years, she worked at Sears and at Crystal Products. When the war was over, she married her childhood sweetheart, Alvin A. Bartkoski, in 1947. Beginning in the late 50's, Clara taught fourth grade at Christ the King school, Kansas City, Kansas. She retired from the school in 1978. After retirement, Clara worked on various Church projects in Wea. Clara was preceded in death by her parents, Frank and Julia Staponski; her brothers and sisters; and her husband, Alvin, in 2002. She is survived by her daughter, Sharon Patti and son-in-law Victor Patti; grandchildren, Amber Martin and her husband Philip, Blake Patti and his fiancee' Melissa Vogt; and numerous nieces and nephews. The family would like to thank all the people at St. Luke's South Hospital, Mission Springs Assisted Living, and Bishop Spencer - York Place for their care and concern the past three months. Clara, we love you, we'll miss you, and we'll look forward to seeing you again. Arrangements: D.W. Newcomer's Sons Johnson County Chapel

At my parents' house I found a Christ the King Parish 50th Anniversary commemorative book which was published in 1990. Here are lists of the Benedictine Sisters and lay teachers. I highlighted the names of those that would have been there from 1968/1969 (when we were in first grade) to 1975/1976 (when we were in 8th grade).

Who recalls toilet paper rationing? I remember Sr. Mauricita and another nun standing at the bathroom door and handing each girl one square of toilet paper. And it was a very thin square!
