San Pedro Street Grammar School (California)


Figure 1.-- Here we have a portrait from a school theatrical at the San Pedro Street Grammar School in 1925. We know it was a California chool. The photograph illustrates a popular theatrical activity--creating freezes. Here the children are doing Greek statues, but of course more modestly clothed than mny such statues. These freezes were done for both school and community theatrical events. The children are identified as Catherine Pandel Brotsis, Xenopon Vourns, and Alexadra Dolks Alexakis.

Here we have a portrait from a school theatrical at the San Pedro Street Grammar School in 1925. We know it was in California. A reader tells us, "There is a San Pedro Elementary School in the Los Angeles Unified School District, and it is on San Pedro Street. Since it was opened in 1866 (according to the school's web site) it's almost a sure bet that it is the same school. There arent any Greeks in that school now, or non-hispanic students of any other national origin, but since the area had a substantial fishing fleet I imagine that a good many Greeks lived in the area in the 1920s." The photograph illustrates a popular theatrical activity--creating freezes. Here the children are doing Greek statues, but of course more modestly clothed than mny such statues. These freezes were done for both school and community theatrical events. The children are identified as Catherine Pandel Brotsis, Xenopon Vourns, and Alexadra Dolks Alexakis. These are all of course Greek names. Presumably the school was in a Greek neigborhood or the children were chosen because of their Greek ancestry.
