Our Heavenly Father along with the many of Our AGO Family.

Before I continue with the photo's I am adding another link that will include names according to class. These names are being taken from the "Year Books." The oldest year book I have is 1948, after that I have from 1953-1962. If anyone has one of the 4 years in between 1949 - 1952 or any before 1948, it would be great. There were no year books printed from 1963-1968. The last year books that we have are 1969-1970.
Also, for those who are not aware, a few years ago, Mary Beth obtained copies of the pages of the "Orphanage News" from the "Young People's Friends" magazine from the Archdiocese Archives. Included in the "Orphanage News" were the names in each of the graduating classes. More important are the Grammar School names, since a lot of kids left before High School Graduation. The first year that is listed is 1945 with some years missing in between. Your help in supplying missing names & years will be appreciated!
If anyone still has their graduation commencement cards with names, that would be a big help, this way we can account for everyone that was in "your" class. You can scan it in and send it to me as an attachment. Once the list is up, if you find any missing or incorrect names, please let me know and I will update. There will be a number next to the names showing the last year that can be accounted for. For those of you, who's year is not listed, please let me know so that I can updated that information.
