The teachers at the school at the time was Brother Eugene, Mr. I only attended that school two years (1960-1962), going on to junior high school my eighth grade year. The other two being in front of the school, one on the south side of the yard, and the other on the north side.Įvery day, I would walk up Summer St., actually passing the site of my dad’s old market, and down Kimball St. The site of the school actually had three softball fields. where we had formulated a crude softball field.

Joseph School was located between Preston and Kimball streets, the present site of Notre Dame Catholic Church. Joseph Catholic School, on Silver Street, to continue their parochial education, or enroll in a public school.

Francis only accommodated boys until the fifth grade. Francis de Sales Parochial School, there came a time when I had to go to a different school.
