One of the fun things about doing research at the museum, is that you will always get sidetracked by interesting photos and documents. This photo sidetracked me last week when I was working on a project. The photo is identified as "Years 1897-1898, Princeville High School, 9th Grade". According to the PHS alumni listing, (Click her for PHS Alumni List), students in this photo graduated in years 1898-1904. I'm not sure if this is the freshman class or a composite of all students in the school at that time. You can see the numbers written on or near each student. A handwritten list was with this photo identifying them all. The students are (left to right):
Back row: Paul Hammer, Willis Hoag, Ferris Rowcliffe, Harry Searl, Rufus Hyde, Ray Hammer, Leo Miller, Roy Hopkins, Clyde McMillen, Charles Smith.
3rd Row: Frank Smith, Rufus Wood, Clyde Alyea, unidentified, Charles Auten, Tom Byrnes, Marion Miller, Lulu Smith, Hattie Fast
2nd Row: Sara Best, Jenny Darby, Pearl Bliss, Myrtis Wear, Isla Pratt, Jessie Glenn, Louise Klink Williams, Nell Culver, Lillian Santee, Gracie Morrow, Eunice Palmer
1st Row: Gladys Fast, Hattie Pierce, Forest Edwards, Cora Hackney, Prof. Baker, Ada Kneer, Della Hoag, Emma Rowcliff, Maude Hopkins, Maude Bouton.
This is cool!
