This photograph depicts a television show being watched by an attentive classroom. A closer look by clicking the mouse over the photograph indicates that the class was watching an "I Love Lucy" rerun. It is too early to call this photograph a forgery or call it authentic.

The year was 1968 of course. By the way, only two of the above are still alive.


Speaking of presidents, here is a photo of Mario Santilli, Student Council President 1967-1968, with Father Dan seated at the desk, and Anna Maria Alvarez on the left (with eyes closed). No they are not collecting Superbowl II wagers; they are busy counting mission money.

From left to right: Father Keith, ?, Father Xavier, Father Augustine (I think), and Father Dan Lynch.

Help me out.

Here is a photo of "the Italian" Church in Pottsville - St. Joseph's on Howard Avenue - which will probably close this year.
