South Shore HS--1947

Tue, 08/26/2008 - 3:54pm — Tom

Photo taken in 1947 on the east side of South Shore HS. Perhaps a pep rally?

Mrs. Stapleton, a math teacher, is in the midst of the crowd, not looking overly enthusiastic.

Swimming Origin(s)

It is hard to believe that South Shore, launched in 1941, contributed in 1944-5 to (1) my Cross Country Track with Bill Scott and (2) my swim origin as a fill in for a Swim Meet doing backstroke in the puny 20 yd pool below the Gym. (we were first graduating class!)
