It was of Fr. Flattery and my cousin who was about two and half at the time. My cousin is looking up to Fr. Flattery who is seated on the platform. I could have sworn it was in the Daily Mirror but I checked the paper out at the 42nd Street Library and it wasn't there. It must have been in the Daily News. I plan to be up in the NYC area in about two weeks. My question is: what other newspapers covered the Bronx? I doubt it was in the Journal American because that paper didn't have as many photos as either the Daily Mirror or the Daily News. I also can't see it being the Bronx Press Review. Were there any other newspapers that covered the Bronx in 1954 other than the ones I mentioned? Also, I always wondered why is the library referred to as the 42nd Street library (at least it was in my day - 1945 to 1978)? It's between 40th and 42nd and facing Fifth Ave. Thanks.

My time at OLA predated the new (1954) school. Have you tried www.bronxboard.com? I know they have some class pictures for 1954 and later. Also have you asked the parish or school? I would think there is probably a dedication book. Another newspaper possibility may be the Parkchester Press or Parkchester Review; I'm not sure of the name and I believe stopped publishing a long time ago. -------------------------------------------------- From: <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, November 23, 2008 10:59 AM To: <NYBRONX-L@rootsweb.com> Subject: [NYBRONX] 1954 Our Lady of Assumption School Dedication photo > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Author: Irishlass45_98 > Surnames: > Classification: queries > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.newyork.counties.bronx/3502/mb.ashx > > Message Board Post: > > I'm trying to find a photo that was taken at the 1954 Our Lady of > Assumption School Dedication.
