Crossings 1938

When I went to grammar school (out on Long Island) in the late 1950's and early 1960's, they were called "crossing guards". At P.S. 99 in the 1930's and 1940's, the title was "school aides". Ten years before Jay Rogers took his photographs, an unknown photographer took these shots of P.S. 99 aides along Kew Gardens Road. In the top photograph from more than six decades ago, the First Church of Kew Gardens and manse can be seen just beyond Mowbray Place. The students shown here would today be in their mid-70's. Can anyone identify any of them?
