This is the graduating class of Brookline Elementary School in the Spring of 1950. Back in these days there was both a Winter and a Spring graduating class.

Below are two more pictures taken that spring when baseball fever was in the air. The first was taken on the Pioneer Avenue side of the school and the bottom photo was taken on the playing field of Brookline School. The boy at bat is Roger Costantino. Roger is in both pictures. Over the years, a lot of baseball was played on the field of Brookline school. A quarter century later, in 1974, I recall playing pick-up games there almost every day during the summer. The field had some big drainage ruts and it was covered with oil to keep the dust down, but it was a baseball field, and that was all that mattered.
