Dissolution of Class Ties Near
Sentiment and fun marked the Class Day exercises as graduation nears. The Congregational church was crowded with relatives and friends. Bogus and Dillman opened with a violin duet, with Doris Howe as accompanist. President Charles Snyder thanked parents and citizens while stressing education as a foundation for personal success. Harold Iddle traced the class history from ninth grade. 54 percent of the 75 initial members graduated. The class boasts a long-serving president, the first to graduate from the new building, a changed faculty, a three-year valedictorian, and twins whose resemblance confounds teachers and students.
