St. Patrick's High School in Miami Beach. He went for a year when he was 19. Hope this helps!

If he was 19, then 1936/37.

He came to America in 1933, same year Lucy went to Cali.

One of his classmates was Sonny Capone, Al Capone's son. Which made it interesting when Desi later produced The Untouchables. The mob actuially put a HIT out on Desi at one point.

Yeah, that's what a HIT is, but they never got close enough or changed their minds, thank God!
