NEARLY ONE THOUSAND HAVE GRADUATED FROM CORSICANA HIGH SCHOOL SINCE 1884

The first graduating class of the Corsicana high school was that of 1884, at which time Miss Wilma Edwards and Mrs. Belle Kerr formerly Miss Belle Hand were the graduates. Since that time nearly one thousand boys and girls have graduated from the Corsicana high. The class of 1923, which is not included in this summary, will add 85 or 90 to the total as here given, thus bringing the number to one thousand people. Very many of the most prominent men and women of our city are included in this list.

The list was hard to make up for some years because there were no definite records in the high school here showing the personnel of some of the classes. If any error is made in any case, it will be gladly corrected by the superintendent of the city schools.

The names of the graduates are as follows:
