2nd grade, St. Joseph

The little boys in suits and holding candles were from both St. Joseph Catholic Elementary School and from public elementary schools. It was the day of their First Holy Communion. Catholic children who went to public schools took religious instruction after regular school hours, and all Catholic children in the parish made First Communion in the spring when they were in the second grade. These were the boys; if someone has a photo of the girls, please share. The little boys and girls in the front row were 1st graders. The custom then was that select 1st graders would lead the Communion class into the church. From the left, the 3rd little girl become Mrs. Michael Bellovich 14-and-a-half years after this photo, and that day it was her mother who had created the dresses worn by the four little girls.
