Putting the caption together, after 55 years, was the result of the brain searching of Daria Marusevich and Wally Linder. Approximately 14 of these kids graduated from Division Avenue High School in 1961. The teacher, Mr. Ouderkirk, certainly had a neat bulletin board. Give him an A.

Eight years later, 11 of these kids graduated in Division Avenue High School's pioneer class of 1960. Please note the cute dresses worn by the girls and the grown-up looking ties by the boys. There was no dress code because it was not necessary. Early Levittown families had a lot of pride.
