The Lyceum, Hackensack PC

[BLeafe]

When I first saw the listing, I couldn't recall a Lyceum existing in Hackensack. When I saw the picture, I was shocked.

THE OLD HOLY TRINITY SCHOOL! I had never heard or seen it referred to as The Lyceum.

I found two online references to a "Trinity Lyceum" in Hackensack that range in time from about 1909 to 1925: one from the New York Times talking about a "Booming Hackensack" booklet (http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9504E1DB1539E433A2575AC0A9679C946196D6CF - download the PDF) and the other in connection with Holy Name Hospital in Teaneck (http://www.teaneck.org/virtualvillage/HolyName/AnnualReport1940/index.htm). See both below.

Interesting.

Has anyone heard of Holy Trinity ever being referred to as "The Lyceum"?
