“High spirits and mischief”: a story of sledding
...I’ll turn it over to her: Sister Mary Alma’s early years in the community were dotted with displays of high spirits and mischief. Domestic employments did not appeal strongly to her. No better sport did she have than to try to elude her turn at washing the supper dishes at the Academy and with another equally delinquent, [quite possibly Mary Theodosia herself] slip away from the “minims” a sled that “Pappy” Guthneck had fashioned, and go coasting down the ravine....

In the years since high school, raising our children and in my retirement years as a volunteer, protecting the environment has been my focus. Teaching, learning and...
Am I doing enough about racial injustice?
...I look at my life, I ask, what is it I am doing? Sheltered by uniformity I grew up in a very small, very rural community. We were the very opposite of diverse. I don’t think there were any black people in my high school, save the one black guy who was in high school while I was in junior high. Nobody directly taught that one should be a racist or to hate someone for the color of their skin....

Voice lessons in discernment
...natural when shifting to a higher register to find your voice in an awkward transitional space. She encouraged me to squeak if I needed to, but not to be afraid of the higher notes. In this moment, I asked myself … In what ways am I shying away from risks for fear of imperfection? Just let go – don’t try to mask your natural voice. Perhaps my favorite insight from voice lessons so far has been the importance of letting...
Sister Emily Walsh (formerly Sister Mary Francine)
...to grow up with an identical twin, that deep level of mutual love and support obviously enabled them to become the women we remember so fondly. After attending elementary and high schools in Saginaw, the twins followed the path of other family members to Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College. The family’s long association with the Woods began when Emily’s great-aunt Octavia Guenin entered the Congregation way back in 1883 with the name of Sister Francis Cecile. Both twins graduated with bachelor’s degrees...
