HHS Yearbook Photo of Peter Youakim 1939

FOUR BROTHERS

ALBERT YOUAKIM

DANIEL YOUAKIM

PETER YOUAKIM

WILLIAM YOUAKIM

NOTE: I was only able to find Peter Youakim's graduation picture. All the other brothers attended Hackensack High School and all served in the Military. Albert told me in a conversation I had with him in 2005 that he got his High School diploma while serving in the Marines because he left High School in the spring to join, the same may have been the case for Daniel and William.
