Holy Cross was a parochial (Catholic) school in the Bronx. We know very little about the school, except that it was operating in the 1940s. We have a photograph of a 2nd grade class in 1949. The children who attended parochial schools in New York were largely the children of Irish and Italian immigrants. By the 1940s they had been largely assimialated into the American mainstream. Some of the family names here are. Monahan, E. Sicilian, G. Finnegan, O'Flaherty, Pignoni, Valentino, D. Como, McCarthy, Barbarino, D. Mulcaty, McGuiness, J. Palumbo, Viola, Hennessy, Reando, P. McShane, Sullivan, Murphy, McVay, Murphy, Pareti, Dougherty, Boyle, Vinacchio, and Hurley. THere were also some German names as ell as Polish names. The children do not wear school uniforms, which became very common in Catholic schools during the 1950s. Readers interested specificlly in New York schools can access websites specifically presenting class images from the various New York City boroughs.
