Glenwood High School Class of 1909 Graduates Most Class
The Glenwood high school closed its year with commencement exercises at the old house last evening. The 1909 class of 22 received diplomas in a program featuring choruses and sketches rather than lengthy orations. Highlights included Merritt’s salutatory, a Rishell poem, and performances by Staples, Hale, Ferrell, Hammer, Rist, and others. A valedictory and class portraits followed, with Merrill Myers presenting reference books to the school. The Shenandoah Sentinel reports a separate cautionary note about a Bristol-area swindle at a circus side show involving A. G. Briggs.
