The photo below came from Joe Coyne, who identified it as “Payson Park 6th Grade, 1951.” Evan Semerjian wrote to say, ‘My copy of this picture is dated June 2, 1949, which would be 4th grade, not 6th grade. We were 9 or 10 years old, and our teacher was Miss Robbins.” Joe Coyne responds that his photo is undated, so he will defer to Evan’s information from a dated photo.
