Book-smart kids
Parochial grammar and high school winners in a literary contest sponsored by the Catholic Literary Association were announced on April 4, 1951. Winning first-place trophies were Steve Duffy (second left), a seventh-grader at St. Thomas School, and Mary Ann Furlotte (second right), a junior at Sacred Heart School. Patricia Lennon (left), a seventh-grader at St. Anne’s School, and Louise Fracchia (right), a junior at Holy Names School, were runners-up. The grammar school contest consisted of creative anecdotes made of book titles, while the high school contest was based on book interpretation and impression.
