   It is on the Brooklyn Queens border. The ball field is in front of
the school which is on Jamaica Ave. The el elevated train Jamaica line
stopped there at Elderts Lane. . If you lived in Woodhaven you went there 
along with Brooklyn students. In my day (graduated 1960) there were 
about 4,000 students.
