On Shorpy:
Today’s Top 5

Class of "47.

I think I recognize Anthony Neiland "Micky" 2nd row from top, 2nd from right & could be my bro Ed Moran "Eddie" next to him. Can any one help? We lived on Hamiliton Place.

Sixty two years later

My brother Andy stands tall top row fifth from right. Eddy McGlynn is sixth from right. Norm Brown may be in the picture, also a friend called Harcourt and Bob Philips. I miss Andy, who died in 2000. We spent many pleasant days at Orlando Florida.

Isaura Flores

Attended this school and my mom graduated from OLL also. This cuts off the right side of photo. Isaura Flores won a math scholarship to Cathedral High School. She was the first Puerto Rican to attend Cathedral on 50th street. Her grandson Eric Hernandez, NYPD, was killed a few months before she died in 2006.

I attended OLL from 1960 to '68 then moved to the Bronx. I had Mother John Fisher, Ms. Marie, Mother Eulalia, Mother Williams, Mr. Gomez. Remember lunch in the basement? I remember when we finally had a uniform fashion show and we as a school picked out the uniform change. We went from navy blue with white blouses to a peacock blue with berets, vest and skirts. The best memory was when a talented artist helped us create Wizard of Oz bird costumes for second grade.

Then there was the ballet teacher. I envied all the kids who could afford to take classes after school. I would sit and watch, sit and watch. I live in Alaska now and think about the beautiful architecture that I grew up with on 143rd Street.

Oops Wrong Year!

I thought this was a picture of the 1946 Class, however, I have been corrected it is the OLL Class of 1947.

Frank Albanese

The tall fellow dead center in the photo is Frank Albanese, who became a professional fighter and retired very young because of injuries.He turned to acting and has appeared in the Godfather movies I and III and was in several Sopranos episodes as well as other movies. By the way this is the Class of '47.
