Add To The Author's List
At the '66 reunion we received a copy of
Japan: beyond the end of history by David Williams '66.
David joins Dana Gioia '69, California's Poet Laureate Jess Money '64 Bill McCann '64 Mark Williams '67 among the Serra published authors of the '60s. To understand Serra in the '50s, '60s, and beyond, we suggest you read chapter's 2 & 3 of "Lives on the Boundary" by Mike Rose'62.  In Chapter's 2 & 3 Mike describes his experiences at "Our Lady of Mercy" from 1958-62. There are lots of copies available on Amazon.

McFarland & Gallagher Report
Two former teachers of the Class of '66 sent letters to be read to the class. Click here to read Joe Gallagher's. If you want to know why graduation from Serra always has produced a full house, click on this link and read " John McFarland Writes" to the Class of '66. Two lines from Mr. McFarland "To its glory, Serra still educates the working class. It never gentrified." And then the poignant, "And thank you for listening this last time."

From the January 2012 Newsletter
Tough Guys
This Serra Football Team of the fall of 1957 holds a distinction which will last forever. While their win-loss was 6 and 3, THEY WERE THE LAST CIF TEAM TO PLAY WITHOUT THE LUXURY OF FACE MASKS. These were tough guys!
Angie Kretzschmar
 Every game the 1957 team played, as well as every game other Serra teams played from 1951 through 2000, they ran onto the field and Angie Kretzschmar was there to support them. After 2000, Angie attended games when she could. The last game she was able to attend was Homecoming 2004. Angie started coming to Serra games in 1951 when she enrolled her twin sons Frank and John. Her third son, Bernard, followed in 1956. Angie Kretzschmar was born February 2nd 1915 and passed away January 29th 2007. As her birthday approaches, say a prayer. If you don't know already, the next time you see the scoreboard on the football field, note you are in the Angie Kretzschmar Stadium.
