Celebrates Her Birthday Longtime Gibault High School teacher Sister Mary Bernard was treated to a surprise 90th birthday party Sunday at the school. Bernard mainly taught history classes during her employment from 1967 to 1987. She was also instrumental in organizing the girls’ sports program. “I truly enjoyed watching the students grow and learn,” Sr. Bernard said. “I always considered the students my little onions. Because they add flavor to life, but sometimes they can make you cry.” Sr. Bernard lives in Waterloo and frequently attends Gibault activities, especially girls volleyball and softball games.
