Las Vegas, 1963

This photo shows Sr. Gertrude with some of  her catechism students in Las Vegas in 1963.   At this time her job was to conduct  catechism classes for kids who attended public school. Las Vegas was booming during this time, but I doubt members of the Rat Pack spent much time in the neighborhoods where Our Lady of Victory Missionary Sisters worked. Note that Sr. Gertrude (known as Sr. Leo back then) was not much taller than her students. She was quite petite.
