Part 2: Division Avenue High's first graduation program - Click on pages to enlarge





Here is a the continuation of the story with the remaining five pages of the class of 1960 graduation program. As mentioned previously, there were approximately 204 of us in the class. At least 28 class members are deceased.

The list of special awards, scholarship winners and class officers is interesting as is the information about who built the graduation "pavillion". We were an impressive group and much has been accomplished by 1960 grads in the 51 years since we proudly departed from Division Avenue High School.

Historical document: Division Avenue High's first graduation program




Click on pages to enlarge

Fifty-one years ago, the first Division Avenue High School class graduated. The date was June 26, 1960. Among the 204 or so graduates was Sandy Adams who saved the program and invitation from that historic day and kindly scanned the pages.

The first page shown here is the invitation. It features a drawing of the school. Carole Arnesen gave the valedictory address and Ellen Rees the salutatory remarks.

The next blog post will include the remaining pages.
