Since You Asked: Park resurfacing delayed during winter ... Mail Tribune 100, May 26, 1915 The following news items were drawn from the archives of the Mail Tribune 100 years ago. Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted May. 26, 2015 at 12:01 AM Posted May. 26, 2015 at 12:01 AM » Social News May 26, 1915 47 STUDENTS TO RECEIVE DIPLOMAS FRIDAY EVENING Some interesting statistics relative to this year's graduating class have been compiled. There are forty-seven pupils who will receive their high school diplomas on the evening of May 28 — sixteen boys and thirty-one girls. The average age of the class is approximately 18½ years. The youngest member is 16 and the oldest 22 years. But twenty-two of the forty-six are native Oregonians, six of the others being from Illinois, three from Indiana, two from Montana, two from Ohio, two from California and one each from Texas, North Dakota, Missouri, Washington, New Mexico, Iowa Arkansas, New York, Minnesota and Oklahoma. Thirty-eight of the forty-six have signified their intention to attend college, while a few of the remaining nine are uncertain. This is a remarkably high percentage and seems to indicate that the boys and girls of high school age are coming to a fuller appreciation of the value of a college training. Ten will attend the University of Oregon, nine the Oregon Agricultural college, four the University of California, three Leland Stanford University, two Cornell University, while other schools mentioned are Salem College (Winston-Salem, N.C.), Monmouth Normal, Pacific University, San Jose Normal, University of Washington and West Point. In answer to the question, "What trade, profession or occupation do you expect to follow?" there were eleven who signified their intention to teach, three will follow agriculture, six engineering, while others mentioned art work, chemistry, law, medicine, banking and stenography. Thirteen have not as yet decided on any line of work. That thirty-three of forty-seven have more or less definite notion of what they expect to do in life shows that our high schools are offering courses that enable the pupil to discover his capabilities, so that when he enters college he usually does so with a clearly defined course in view. Commencement exercises, which are free to the public, will be held at the Page theater next Friday evening, May 28, at 8 o'clock. The honorable B.F. Mulkey will deliver the address.
