The Bridgeport High School class of 1916, the largest yet, graduated in the new building with 31 Magna Cum Laude and numerous honors. President Elmer H. Havens presided as Supt. Slawson spoke, Miss Beard won first prize and Miss Marsh second in an essay contest, and Jacob Dold and others received prizes. Principal remarks praised the facilities, teachers, and students as the first class to hold commencement in the new auditorium and to receive diplomas from Mr. Slawson.

Florence Nightingale and Jeanne d Arc in Heroic Light

A reverent portrait celebrates Florence Nightingale as the radiant Angel of the Crimea and Jeanne d Arc as France’s Virgin of Orleans. The essay traces Nightingale’s selfless nursing, hospital reform, and humility after the Crimean War, and extols Joan of Arc as a stainless example of heroism who united a broken nation. The piece contrasts 19th century sainthood with medieval courage, urging admiration for enduring personal virtue over public fame.

Remembering Eugene Field the children's poet laureate

Among yesterday's men, some shine brightest in memory for brightening the world. Eugene Field stands foremost among them as the juvenile's Biomer in verse. He wrote with tender insight into child thoughts, loving goodness, and scorning sham and hypocrisy.
