49 Graduates Given Diplomas

The graduation exercises for students of the Exira High School took place Tuesday evening at the school auditorium.  Supt. R. M. Slotten presented diplomas to 49 young men and women who have achieved something upon which no monetary value can be placed – a high school education.

R. A. Griffin, southwest Iowa director from the state department of public instruction, delivered the address to the graduates.  His talk was one which should be remembered for many years by those who heard it.  His bits of advice, which interspersed the talk, can be used to good advantage by every graduate of the Class of ’38.

Those receiving diplomas were Burdell Baier, Vera Beck, Elaine Bengard, Velma Benton, Dorothy Bolton, Thelma Cannon, Fred Chase, Helen Christensen, Marilyn Christensen, Harold Davis, Doris Elwood, Beulah Fredericksen, Ella Fredericksen, Kristine Gaskill, Helen Mae Green, Fern Hansen, Franklin Hansen, Bernice Hensley, Phyllis Hensley, Arnold Hill, Lois Johnson, Folmer Kirk, Ava Kyndesen, Evelyn Leigan, Jean Louise McCall, Evelyn Nelson, Mary May Nelson, Ella Nymand, Bennie Olsen, Jane Olsen, Paul Olsen, Thomas Payne, Iola Petersen, Lela Petersen, Thomas Phippen, Lucille Porter, Darlene Roberts, Gwen Mae Reed, Neva Rogers, Norma Sams, Leonard Schlater, Myra Tuey, Phyllis Sorensen, Ruby Van Aernam, Dayle Wahlert, Betty Walker, Kendle Warner, Margaret Wulf, Robert Wulf.
