St. Pius X Girls’ Track Team

This photo shows a flag raising event at St. Mary School in North Vernon. Though no date is given on the photo, it could depict celebrations related to the dedication of the school building by Bishop Denis O’Donoghue, former auxiliary bishop of Indianapolis, on June 21, 1908. St. Mary Parish was founded in 1861, and the school continues to operate in the building shown in this photograph.

The girls’ track team from St. Pius X Parish in Indianapolis was the runner-up in the girls’ division of the 1980 City-Wide Track meet. They posed with their trophies in this photo. The coaches in the back row, from left to right, are John Collins, Brian Walker and Bill Farney. If you know the names of any of the girls on this team, please let us know!
