I attended St. Lawrence from 3rd grade through 8th, 1949 to 1955. Great memories, great education. Alter boy, CYO Basketball, learned the Irish Jig and became friends with a very diverse student body.

I remember attending SLS from 1952 until 1956 when I graduated; I have such nice memories. We were taught by the Sisters of the Devine Compassion.
