Grammar School Photos

Now these will really take us back !! We all came to THS from different grammar schools within the city and some from out of town as well. I've received a few so far and if you have them from your grammar school graduating class of 1955, please contact me. I can scan them and get them up on the site. For the moment, check out these great photos !

Courtesy of Gretchen Muller Ross, we have this excellent quality photo of the South School 8th grade graduating class, 1955. The school, located on South Main street has since been converted to apartments. Look carefully and you'll see some very familiar faces including Rich Knapp, Janet Sikora, Tomasso Rendino, Arnold Staire, Ray Belding, Jim O'Conner, Kevin Gilson, Ed Ostrosky, Lou Baccei, Marlene DeBrot, John Cellerino, Ann Accardo, Al Moser, Doramae Bray, and Gretchen Muller, just to name a few. If you recognize any others, drop me an email ! Enjoy !! Still looking for East, Southeast, Riverside etc photos !

Photo's a little rough, but this is the South School Girl's Softball Team, sent to me by Marge Roy Espenshade. Some names include: Front Row Roseann Clapp, XX Marge Roy, XX, Kaye Lovallo, X Rose Ann Meeker. Back row: XXXX June Rhone, Noreen Raspiller, XX, Mr. Rude. X's denote unidentified persons within the row. Kaye Lovallo played softball ?? Maybe that's where she learned to dance !!

Now here's a real great photo ! The Torringford School, graduation class of 1955 ! Thanks to Will Revaz for sending this along !! Some very familiar faces in this group ! If anyone has any complete class photos like this from the other grammer schools of our time, please get them to me. I'm personally interested in St Francis, my alma mater !!
