This will be backdated (1936)
Grandma Zada ... spelled Zadia in her younger years, as reflected in the diploma above, graduated from high school in 1936. In her history she says she would have liked to go on to college "but those were depression years and college education was quite a luxury."
One of Zada's classmates kept the program from their commencement ceremony (thanks Harold). Graduating class of about 70 students. No information as to the speakers or songs, but we do learn the exact date/time and location, as well as the school/class colors, flower and motto.
In one of her poems, Grandma Zada had written ...
In the English class in my High School Days
I composed a poem that the teacher gave praise.
It was so much fun to get a good mark in her class
By keeping and reading the poem to the class.
We aren't sure who Grandma Zada's friend is in this picture, but it is her handwriting indicating "graduation" on it in a photo album.
Grandpa Rex also attended North Sanpete High school,
graduating a few years earlier.
