  • Fordham Preparatory School Summer Academy
    Fordham Preparatory School Summer Academy Mission Statement and Program Goal The Jesuit educational mission advo- cates that an ethnically and economically di- verse student body creates a superior envi- ronment for learning and living. The Ford- ham Prep Summer Academy was created to address the need for continued skills devel- opment among gifted young men in the Bronx. The Academy seeks to introduce able students of modest means to Fordham Prep. The program’s curriculum calls for in- struction in grammar, reading, and mathe- matics in the morning. Time after lunch is set aside for computer skills, theatre use, and opportunities for recreation. There are also visits to nearby cultural resources in and near the Bronx such as Yankee Stadium and the Bronx Zoo. 2011 THE STUDENTS OF THE 2011 FORDHAM PREP SUMMER ACADEMY Joseph Bull St. Lucy Marlon Burgess Mott Hall —Throgs Neck Jonathan Campbell St. Mary School John Diaz Our Lady of Angels Tristan Diaz Our Lady of Angels Hakeem Dunkley Immaculate Conception— GH Jacy Frias St. John Chrysostom Arthur Gooden Sts.

  • THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 4, No. 9 (1982) the BRONX
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 4, No. 9 (1982) THE BRONX by Victor Mastro Lombardi's Packers, Pittsburgh's Super Steelers, Chicago's Monsters of the Midway, Cleveland's Big bad Browns, the glittering Dallas Cowboys and the ancient Canton Bulldogs, all claimed winners' thrones in the NFL. Soldiers Field, Wrigley Field, League Park, and Municipal Stadium burned with the fever of football, while gridiron ghosts of yesteryear ran, passed, blocked and tackled. Out of all this gladiatorial grandeur, one borough in a great city stands atop these mountains of football folklore -- the Bronx. Just across the East River from the Bronx, the Polo Grounds was the scene of many great football games during the 1920s-30s. Meanwhile, the Bronx was still a rookie in football experience. But Red Grange, the fabled Four Horsemen of Notre Dame, and Fordham's Seven Blocks of Granite left their imprints on football, playing games at Yankee Stadium. Furthermore, some of the early greats of the NFL came from or played high school or college ball in the Bronx. These included Sid Luckman, Ken Strong and Ed Danowski. Steve Owen, the legendary Giant coach, worked as a foreman in the Bronx coal yard. In 1934, the "Sneaker Game," perhaps the greatest comeback in championship play, resulted from shoes borrowed from Manhattan College in the Bronx. After that classic, no NFL team dared take the field in cold weather without having "sneaker" type footgear available. In the mid-1930s, Fordham in the heart of the Bronx boasted what might have been the greatest offensive and defensive line in college history -- the "Seven Blocks of Granite." Tackle Ed Franco was a consensus All-American.
