Patricia (Cecil) Bikai
Class of 1961
I continue to publish articles about my excavations at the World Heritage site of Petra in Jordan. The excavations included churches of the Byzantine era, housing and mosques of the late Islamic period, and, most spectacularly, the summer residence of one of the rulers of Petra, Malichos I. This dates to around 30 BC., and contained wonderful sculptures, including this head of Ampelos, a companion of Dionysos.

Ellen Roney Hughes
Class of 1961
Greetings,
(August 2024)
Long ago, June 1961, I graduated from Immaculata HS with an excellent education, despite my antiauthoritarian nature and poor study habits. I left with a love of the school, of history and especially of my fellow students, many of whom are still my friends. Recently we celebrated Penne Poole’s 80th birthday in her always superior style. Virginia Nunez Flavin, Ginny Smith, Cathy Castiglia, and Sally Madden Pilkerton were there but Joan Fay Carona and others could not make it. Recently, I connected with Janine Renaud Burns as well. Everyone is so healthy, vigorous and fun. I am now retired in Rehoboth Beach and still a practicing historian and writer. By chance, I work with another, younger alum Ann Scott Sebastian, who is the delightful leader of a regional women’s organization. Apparently, we turn up everywhere!
Stay well, Ellen -
Beth (Gilbert) Moberley
Class of 1963
I am Beth Gilbert from the Class of ’63. I was hoping to see friends and fellow classmates from my year at the ’74 50th Reunion/All Years Alumnae that was held at The Salted Rim Margareta Bar and Grill in Millville, Delaware on June 1st. I had so much fun because we all had something in common, our High School that we loved. I was the oldest one there, but many were there from different graduation years. I would be more than excited to attend in upcoming years. If others from 1963 attended, that would make it a more exciting event.

Suzanne Mager, Julie Palmer (Immaculata 1971) and Suzanne’s husband, Marc Pease, got to have a brief-but-wonderful visit over dinner in Seattle in later June 2024. Julie stayed overnight in Seattle on her way back to Boston from a fabulous week in Alaska with her daughter and daughter-in-law.

Class of 1974
“The Class of ’74 find all kinds of ways to keep having fun. Ginny Shreve Finley had a happy hour in Bethany in August (thank heaven no photos and yes, there were boys who we’ve also known since Catholic grade school and high school) with Nancy Holmes, Anna Pagi, Joanie Skarnoulis Walsh, Eileen Haussener Perkins, Susan Haussener McElroy, Mary Raskauskas Lukach, Mary Jo Gofreddi McNamara. Also gals celebrated Margie’ s bday in Bethesda.
Here are some pix from the bday party. Our animal masks are because we once acted like we were in the ANIMAL HOUSE film though now we have matured to “ladies who lunch”.
From left front and around the table: Dottie Donovan Battista, Anna Pagi, Peg Fulner McCarty, Nancy Battista (“Betty Beach”) McCann, Anne Langley Henry, Margie Sipkov (“Zip”) Taylor, Pam Waring (“Pookie”) D’Ambrosio, Nancy Holmes, Ronnie Quinn Heller and unseen taking photo, Ginny Shreve Finley.

Margaret Hannan “Peggy” Laramie
Class of 1974
It is with great sadness, that we share the loss of Peggy Hannan Laramie. She is remembered by her classmates as someone who was bright, funny and always upbeat. Peggy was an excellent writer and social justice champion. She courageously fought lung cancer and participated in clinical trials to benefit others. She will be greatly missed!

“Wahoo and be merry! The Class of ’74 is hosting the Immaculata Holiday Party
(October 2024)HO HO HO!”
In 1905, at the request of the pastor of St. Ann Church in Washington, D.C., the Sisters of Providence purchased property and opened what was first called Immaculata Seminary, including elementary, secondary and postgraduate programs.
The college closed in 1978, with the elementary and high schools closing in 1986.
Until 1965, the high school was called Immaculata High School. In 1965, the name was changed to Immaculata Preparatory.
