I transcribed this list from the New York Mirror class photo, which was apparently taken in their freshman year, around 1930. The newspaper gave the names as first initial, last name and they went from bottom row left to top row right. The rows are somewhat uneven, especially near the top of the photo, but if you recognize a name, you may be able to pinpoint the person in the photo. Good luck!
Note: The picture is captioned in the New York Mirror: "First Term Pupils of the Tottenville Staten Island, High School--Group 1" so it may not be inclusive of all the members of the class of 1934.
