As commencement time approaches once more, it has now occurred to us a list of the young men and women who have gone out from our high school since the first diplomas were granted in the summer of 1892, might be of interest not only to them but to their friends. It will be remembered that an additional year's work was added in 1896, and no class graduated that summer. The list is one well worth preserving and has never been published collectively before.
