Chaminade High School, Class of 1931, Part 1

 


Welcome to Chaminade High School, 1931!  


There are a lot of students in this class, I know this post is going to be extremely long, so I'm going to divide it into 4 parts--


This post is Part 1: Senior Class A



                        (You Can View the Yearbook Online Here)


I like this picture (page 4) of the school's front doors


One big difference in this book than some of the other yearbooks is that the student's address is listed with their name and class activities. I thought it'd be interesting to see if these homes are still there today! 

(All photos of homes are taken from Google images)
