I remember so well going swimming there in the Boys Club. My cousin Matt would go with my Brother and I. Matt would hollar out KEY....KEY !!!! He had no problem singing out like that. I was a bit more bashful !! Very good time at the Club !!!!!

I went with the Ionics Ave Boys Club in 1960 to Fenway Park. Mew saw Ted Williams hit his 506th Homerun. Memorable.

I attended ionic ave boys club from 1967 to 1976 and enjoyed playing snaps and foosball, boxing in the golden gloves tournament, playing street hockey for the clubs team at friendly house and Lincoln square, and mostly my closet friends( the perley,s - Rahall,s - Talbot,s and a one Richie gedman catcher for the boston red sox!x

Hello all, I am Judy Perry, founder and executive director of Jubilee Career Center for the Performing Arts, Inc. I would like to get your opinions. How would you feel about the Boys Club being restored to its original use and do you thing a project like this is needed and would be welcomed? thank for your comments

I remember in the late 1950's my Mom droping me and my friend Dave off every Saturday with our Boy's Club card in hand at the Ionic Ave club ,the best years of my life .

I remember going to the Boys Club in 1928 -1938 every day after school. I was always disappointed when it closed on Sundays. I have fond memories of the staff to include Charlie Bunker who ran the Athletic dept and Art Crowley the swimming coach! Good ol days!

I went almost all of the 1960's I remember having to swim naked with the locker key on my ankle.

I remember going to the boy's club every saturday.Played ping pong,basketball,and swam naked with the sharks.Wish i still had my boys club card to get in,were talking late 1950'sand early 60's

Joined the club in 1947 and the annual fee was 25 cents. Played basketball for Ionics for two year's, 52 and 53. Some years there would be netting up in the gym and we would play softball with other clubs. Charlie Cello and Tom Foisy were two of out best players. Of course the one and only Charlie Bunker was our coach. When I retired in October of 1993, After that, I returned to the club a number of times to play BB with all the other alumni. Still have a photo of the Ionics basketball team. Those were the great years

I have one of the pool tables that were upstairs for so many years. I put new corners felt and pockets it is a beautiful solid table. Looking for some information on it because there is no plaque on the table. I’m guessing these can be as old as 1930s? The one I have I have totally restored. These are oversized tables for sure and three piece slate. any information would be awesome and helpful thank you.
