 June walk
The June walk was a parade for the children of Woodlawn to celebrate the end of school (I think). The groups were organized by school (St Barnabas, St Mark, PS19) and each year there was a theme. I remember 1976 was US history and I was George Washington. I think my blue velvet coat still hangs in my dad's attic (32 years later)!
The parade started at PS19 and went up Katonah Ave, making a left onto VCPE and ending near the tennis corts at Indian Field.
There were many prizes and awards for costumes and floats each year, and a big party was usually held at the end. Snacks and drinks were provided and Irish Dancing was the entertainment.
I think it went on until at least 1980, when I graduated.
