These photos are old, and the people in them may no longer be with us. However, it's good to have these remnants of past times. If by any chance you recognize any of these students or others in the photos from your own family photos or other sources, would you please let me know? I'll be happy to post that information to share with others.

That was the caption when this photo was reproduced in the PennySaver 6(7), Nov. 1968, p. 16. These names are written on the back of the photo itself: Violeta Deach, Elizabeth Davis, Mabel Unagst, Isadora Daubert, Mary DeComa, Evelyn Zeisloft, Priscilla Brelem, Anna Slank, Ida Squarko, Stella DeMarie, Mabel Heller, Ethel Davis, Vera Harris, ____ Amendler, Jetta Burns, Anna Timcko, Violet Kozel, Nicholas Nochie, Junior [Oswald?], ____ _____, Florence Saricks, Emily DeJohn, Angeline Durange, Howard Howe, Walter Nowak, Stephen Yulius, Charles Derench, Ralph Barrett, ____ Mohan, Harold Davis, and teacher Miss Hinkle. The photo came from John Zubach, as do the last four on this page.

This next photo was sent to me by Ann Nakpairat. It's an early photograph of the St. Mary's Byzantine Church School, which she dates at around 1896. According to Ann, her father, John Malenky, is in the first row, fourth from the right. Born in 1890, he is wearing a cap and appears to be about 6 years old. Her grandfather, George Malenky, said to be a founder of the church, may be the gentleman with the mustache standing in the top row at the far left of the photo.

At present, those two are the only ones of these old class photos that I have any identifications for. Here are the others, below. If I find any information about them, or if anyone sends me information, I'll add it here.

This one came from Eugene Della Croce. To my eye it appears to have been taken outside of St. Ann's Church on Centre Street (the church that was torn down in the mid-1960s and replaced by the current church, recently renamed Immaculate Conception), but perhaps it's older than that.
