Largest Pella High School class graduates in history
The Pella high school graduating class, 16 boys and 30 girls, received diplomas after a week of exercises. An eighth grade promotion occurred, honors were awarded for academics and interschool activities, and J. W. Jarnagin of Des Moines gave a long address with anecdotes. The program included lists of graduates, honors in typing and various sports, a college scholarship winner, and performances by the orchestra and girls glee club.
