Holy Cross always had an exemplary academic record but it wasn't all brain work there! These pictures from the 1961 yearbook are proof positive that the school had a varied and full programme, designed to develop every attribute that makes a well rounded person and a good citizen.

| JUNIOR GLEE CLUB MEMBERS |
We don't have names to go with this photo of the members of the Junior Glee Club although several names have been suggested. The names we have been given are Joe Power, Paul Meaney, John Simms, ? Byrne, and ? Healey. Can you add to this?
***Lorraine Walsh has just contacted us with some more names of boys in the Junior Glee Club. Lorraine tells us that Bernie Walsh, Leo Hagerty, Tom Coffey and Bob Ennis are among the young singers. Thank you Lorraine. Your input is very much appreciated.
How times have changed. Just look at the number of Altar Boys. And this is just the senior altar boys! Again, the boys aren't named but we have managed to identify some of them. They are, in no particular order, Jimmy Murray, Ed Flynn, Pat Byrne, Joe Ashley, Jim Kelley, Kevin Walsh, Robert Wells, Jack Hurley, David Finch, Johnny Murphy, Frank Fitzgerald, Ron Baird, Bill McDonald, Gerry Duggan, Ed Kennedy, Paul Whelan, Clifford Forristal, Tom Molloy, Ray Pollard. Do you recognise anyone else here? Please let us know if you do.
Our third photo is of the High School Bowling Team. Thankfully, the boys on the Bowling Team have been named so we are sure we have it right this time! However, we hope that someone will be able to give us the full names of J McCarthy and R Nolan.
Back, L-R: Mike Healey, Rex Snelgrove,
J McCarthy
Front: Maurice Cullen, R Nolan
Finally, here are the Brothers who guided these groups.
Once again, we ask your assistance with names and any information you have about these groups. Please get in touch with us at mcallistersmith@gmail.com.
