In June of this year, around 970 students graduated from\u00a0our three Davenport high schools.<\/p>\n

In contrast, ninety-two students received their diplomas from Davenport High School in June of 1911. This marked the first time that graduates from both semesters were placed in a single class.<\/p>\n

At the time, the high school offered four different courses of study: Latin (for students who wished to pursue an academic course at college), Science (for students who desired to enter a technical school\/college, or for those who wished full work in science and math), German (much like the Latin course, but with\u00a0four years of German) and Commercial (preparation for business pursuits).<\/p>\n

Some of the graduates were later photographed by J. B. Hostetler <\/a>in the 1910s, and we were able to locate their portraits in our Photograph Collection.\u00a0 Here, then, are\u00a0a few of the\u00a0lovely ladies of the class of 1911:<\/p>\n
