The Roman Catholic High School Rowing Team
1930

This is the rowing team from Roman Catholic High School in Philadelphia. They won several events at the Fairmount Rowing Association events. You might wonder why this photo has anything to do with broadcasting. The guy in the lower front is the coxswain (pronounced cox-en) and that's John Facenda, the legendary voice of WCAU and NFL Films.
