b&w photograph
Very good condition: scratches above fifth boy from left in back row, right edge beginning to fray, left edge fraying beside first boy from left in front row, size with matte 30.4 cm x 35 cm and tape along top edge of matte. Photo came with white frame-matte attached to front.
Group photo of 26 boys and one priest. Front row (l to r): Roy Campbell, Bert Corbett, Eddie Donahoe, St. Clair Hayes, Charles Spray (?), Leo Murphy, Eddie Granville, and Tom Kerr. Middle row (l to r): Tom Moulton, Neil Flannery, Adam Grace Crosby, Brother Grangel, George Penny, John Martin, Howard Hickey, and John Multowney. Back row (l to r): Mel Hawes, Gerry Burns, ?, ?, Larry O'Leary, Walt Keating, John Moore, ?, ?, Dick Walsh, and Gerry Flavin. Identities confirmed by J. Mills in 2015. Publication of the yearbook was suspended from 1914-1920 likely due to wartime and immediate post-war paper shortages: a patriotic gesture by the College (see pg. 13 and 93 in the 1921 Santamarian yearbook). Moore succumbed to Spanish Flu in 1922 (see pg. 116 of the 1922 yearbook).
