For "Bells of St. Mary's" and "Going My Way" Fans

If you are (or once were) a fan of the Bing Crosby films Bells of St. Mary's (1945) and Going My Way (1944), which seemed to run on television a lot in the 1960s, you might remember a boys' choir in both movies.

Going My Way
Can you spot Carl "Alfalfa" Spitzer of Our Gang?

It was the choir of Old St. Mary's Church in Chicago, and they sang (with member changes) from 1904 until 1967, when the choir was disbanded. Nevertheless, the choir alumni still got together to sing, beginning in the 1970s.

But time marches on, and the boys became geezers. Next month the alumni choir will sing it's last performance.
