Courtesy of Business Conditions a LeMars 1925 graduates brochure prints portraits and brief histories. The American Trust and Savings bank funded the publication with C M Bolser leading the department. Initial interest was low but eight months of effort built readership and approval.
This retrospective notes 44 years of LeMars high school since its first class of three in 1881. It recalls the old building torn down in 1904, the 1888 completion of a third story, and the 1904 structure under Supt. Bigelow, followed by the new building erected last year in Supt. Kittrell’s tenure. It mentions early teachers and officials including Anna Burbridge and Jacob Wernli.
The article chronicles St Joseph’s Catholic parochial school beginnings in 1875 under Rev. Meis, its growth with Sisters of Christian Charity, and later upgrades under Msgr Feuerstein and Rev. Pape including a new convent, 350 students, and extensive expansion. It also recounts the origin of Western Union College in Le Mars, its 1900 incorporation, campus transfer from Le Mars Normal School, and early presidents Herman Thoren, Charles Poling, and David Thomas.
