This evening will mark the 110th commencement exercises at Lassen Union High School. One hundred years ago on June 1, 1917, seven graduates received their diplomas: Myrtle Doyle, Helen Woodward, Alma Frawley, Stella Glass, Pauline Ruf, Mildred Zimmerman and George Winchester.
It was a simple ceremony with a handful speeches, beginning with the invocation by Rev. R.N. Rowe. In between speeches were two different musical solos, one by Esther Gilman and the other by Dr. F.D. Walsh. The commencement address was delivered by Lassen County District Attorney, J.A. Pardee.
