m3 DURING A RARE MOMENT in the long, empty corridor, Junior William O'Connor, at lett, does some quiet study. Generally corridors are empty only during class period. School's twenty classrooms were spread over three floors. Typing room was on the sixth floor and Science labs were in the basement. ANOTHER STUDIOUS TRlUMVIRATE+Below: John Starr, Charles Novak and Joseph Capobianco-go over some answers in their physics lab book. Brother Vranka taught physics to Room 54.
