The Class of 1946 in the Lower Grades

Marilyn (Ordos) Kulseth (Class of 1946) has shared her photos with quite an impressive number of ID's dating all the way back to first grade in 1939.

Here is a Grade 1&2 photo of the classes of 1946 & 1945 taken in 1939.

Next is the Grades 2&3  photo of the classes of 1946 & 1947 taken in 1940. (As you might have figured out, since each photo is of  2 consecutive classes, one year you are with the class ahead of you and  the next year you are with the class behind you.)

(Note: What's interesting about this photo is that it was taken twice, moving some of the children into different positions. My guess is that this version was for the Class of 1946, and the one given immediately below was the Class of 1945. This photo was already posted in the sequence of the class of 1945 photos with the ID's. I am only posting the photo here.)

Class of 1945 (Grade 4) with Class of 1946(Grade 3) taken in 1941

She has no 1942 photo, so the next one in the sequence is of the Classes of 1946 & 1945 Grades 5&6. That is also posted below with ID's in the set of photos from the Class of 1945. We repost it here without the ID's.

Class of 1946(Grade 5) with Class of 1945(Grade 6) taken in 1943

The Class of 1945

Thanks to Mary Ann (Sutlovich) Bishop, her sister Louise (Sutlovich) Major, Louise's husband Dick Major, and Marilyn (Ordos) Kulseth who supplied the photos, with help in identifications from Sally Keane, Connie (Jacobson) Hevly, Sam Mezich, and Don Piro, we have an impressive set of photos from the early to late 1940's. We begin with the Graduation Photo of the Class of 1945.

Top Row:       Donald Diefenbach(deceased) Jerry Hueffed(deceased), Joe Ferluga, Bobby Waitt

Kathleen Morello, Marie Mortensen, Mary Ann Sutlovich, Anna Berry, Ann O’Brien

Next there are photos from earlier years of this class(always taken in a pairs with another class with whom they shared a room except for grade 7) (Note: From the beginning in 1923-24 all the way up through 1946 or 1947, St. Margaret School had 8 grades in 4 classrooms. Thus photos were almost always of grades 1&2, 3&4, 5&6, 7&8, with a single class photo only  of the graduating class and of an occasional 7th grade class. When the population boomed at the end of WWII, the sisters moved to the old rectory to accommodate the burgeoning population, and thus there were individual classes and class photos. This was a short-lived phenomenon, because of the creation of Our Lady of Fatima parish and school in 1954 when more than half of the population transferred to that school. After that some photos for a few years  were a mix of combined classes or of individual classes. As more photos are posted , I try to identify the classes by their years of graduation as well as the grade they were in at the time and the year the photo was taken. Hopefully not too many mistakes will occur.)

Editor's note: I am just amazed  that we have been able to obtain pictures from 7 decades ago and that people are still able to remember the names of their classmates and identify their pictures!

Class of 1946

Editor's note: I knew Earlene as a younger daughter of family friends who lived down the street from us, but never knew until recently that her given name is Margaret. Go figure.

Standing: Father Corboy, Jack Brown, Pete Mezich, Mike “Toddy” Scrivanich, ?, John Hroncich

Can anyone identify the others?

Play Ball !

Thanks to the efforts of Mary Ann (Sutlovich) Bishop (1945), Sam Mezich and Sally Keane (!946), Louise (Sutlovich) Major (1947) & her husband Dick Major, we are blessed with photos from the late 30's and the 40's. Today's first postings are of St. Margaret's baseball teams that competed before the formal beginning of the   CYO (1951).
First we have the 1939 Baseball Champions of the Parochial School League(before the CYO existed)

Top:Jimmy Brown, Harold Allison, George Shaunessey, Bob Lorbeske, Jack Brown, Jack Ferluga, Father Corboy

Bottom: Mike (Toddy) Scrivanich, Pete Mezich, Robert (Fats) Tarabochia, Jesse Silas

I wonder what Interbay Field was like in those days. The PSL (Parochial School League) was the structure/organization for athletic competition for the Catholic schools in the 30's and 40's. In the Seattle Archdiocese, the CYO (Catholic Youth Organization) was not founded until 1951 with Father Richard Stohr, the assistant pastor at St. Margaret's, serving as its founding director.
