Of note: Spellings of the surnames may be off in searching for your ancestors. Spelling of names was not altered from the text.

This publication is 96 years old (1923-2019) and was published 32 years after the original (known) graduation had taken place. No known photographs of the early graduates are known to exist.

On page 58, class of 1918, had two graduations, the first in January and the second in June. I would assume that this was due to the Spanish Flu outbreak, but cannot confirm that theory.
