I just watched a few minutes from the video from 1962, but wow, what a great video! I plan to watch every minute of it when I have a chance.

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS!!!

What a fascinating glimpse into a different time. Not even one lifetime ago, and what that video showed seemed more alien to me than Star Wars. It would be easier for me to imagine myself living in one of the Star Wars movies than living in the world portrayed in these videos, where everyone (just about) is a traditional Catholic. I look forward to perusing these at some length.

Strange to see Jack Nicholson comtemplating the priesthood.

“Nicholson grew up in Neptune City.[7]:7 He was raised in his mother's Roman Catholic church.[12][13]Before starting high school, his family moved to an apartment in Spring Lake, New Jersey.[7]:16 "When Jack was ready for high school, the family moved once more—this time two miles farther south to old-money Spring Lake, New Jersey's so-called Irish Riviera, where Ethel May set up her beauty parlor in a rambling duplex at 505 Mercer Avenue."[14] "Nick", as he was known to his high school friends, attended nearby Manasquan High School, where he was voted "Class Clown" by the Class of 1954. He was in detention every day for a whole school year.[4] A theatre and a drama award at the school are named in his honor. In 2004, Nicholson attended his 50-year high school reunion accompanied by his aunt Lorraine.[7]
