Look at these kids, graduating high school in January, 1934 (city schools used to do that; they had January graduates as well as June grads). Most headed to college, then they may have gone off to war. What did they make of their lives? Guess we’ll never know.
Boys High School is now Boys & Girls High School on Fulton Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant.

ATTENDED FROM 1961 -1964. MY FATHER AND UNCLE ATTENDED IN THE LATE 30′S AND IS THE REASON I ATTENDED, WHEREAS MOST OF MY JUNIOR HIGH CLASS MATES WENT TO FRANKLIN K. LANES, CLARA BARTON, PROSPECT HIDGHT, BROOKLYN TECH, ETC.
THEN THE SCHOOL WAS ON MARCY AVENUE.
I REMEMBER THE SCHOOL FLOORS AND HALLWAYS, LINED WITH TROPHY CABINETS AND TROPHYS.
WHAT EVER HAPPENNED TO ALL THOSE TROPHIES. MOSTLY ALL THE CLASSMATES I ATTENDED WITH ARE DECEASED. VIETNAM AND THE ECONOMIC TIMES OF 70′S, WIPED OUT MY CLASS

Bruno Bevevino — almost positive that this is him (photo resemblance) — killed in action in Korea (was also a veteran of WW II). http://www.koreanwar.org/html/korean_war_project_remembrance.html

Thanks for writing. There’s another Bruno Bevivino; according to his 1987 obituary in the Boston Globe, he was born in Brooklyn. But he died at 72 and would have been too old to graduate high school in 1934. A relative, perhaps.
