Wonderful
Memories From
Danny
Lobel, Class of 1946
Thanks to Danny Lobel for sending these great photos from the 40's. I have listed some of the names of the players but if you can help with the rest, please e-mail me, Skip Weinstock, Class of 1963 at rockaway@astound.net
The picture below
is of the 1945 football team. There are no pictures of the first team after
the 1943 football strike when half the school
walked out to bring
football back after many years of no team. Half the players in that picture
were on the 1944 team, including me.
I found some of
the names of the players in an old scrap book, so I thought maybe they
would be of interest.
