Bourbon High School Class of 1924

Submitted on 19 June 2009 by Janet Hardy

My deceased Great Aunt Mearle Hardy Politowitz saved this newspaper clipping.  The quality is poor, but I thought that the names might someday be beneficial to someone.  I believe this was printed in 1974 b/c it goes on the discuss how it has been 50 years.

The first graduates that were privileged to don robes and caps and receive diplomas from Bourbon High School is (sic?) the class of 1924.  They were (back row), Walter Harmon (Babe), Roy Pal, jason Barton, Harry Schwidde and Orlando (Landy) Jones.  (Second row) Evelyn Hasse, Zelma Rohrer, Rena dollar, Eileen Racthel, Alma Powers.  (Seated) Gladys Page, Vera Bacon, Esther Larson, Ruth Baker, Thelma Pace, Helen Poole.  (Standing) their teacher John Kasoman (Prof.) (Seated) Garland Hughes Ralph Bacon, Theodore Downes, Raymond Hasse and Tom Crabtree.  Absent the day of the picture were tow graduates of the 1924 class:  Hazellle Rohreer and Florence Barton and the Freshman Group, Fred Rohrer.
