Class of 1917

Class of 1917

 

The following list of 101 graduates of the Class of 1917 was compiled from the listings in the 1917 Champion and the 2007 Alumni Directory.  Apparently the Times did not report the individual names nor number of graduates, just that the graduation ceremonies were held at the Pilgrim Congregational Church on May 25, 1917.

Chemical engineer; retired EPA in 2002 after 31 years. Still consulting when I have to. Grow lots of fascinating stuff on my 12 acres. So much left to learn...so little time. History is a passion. Sorry I didn't have more discourse with those who have left us. History lost forever.

  1. Three persons from the Alumni Directory 1917 list of 102 – Margaret Daniel, Hilda Dimmock, and Lillian Parker – could not be found in the Champion and two others from the Champion – Hilda Hodges and Barton Williams – were not listed in the Alumni Directory, so the first three were dropped and the last two added, making the total 101 – all pictured and accounted for in the 1917 Champion.
