NOTES:

This yearbook does not have an index.

In many photographs of clubs, sports and activities, students are identified only by first initial and last name.

On pages 82-84, are 6 photographs of students who participated in the "Senior Boys' Show." Three of the photos include a student (a different student in each photo) in "black face". This show consisted of six skits, some which were described as:

"The Nonsense School', a musical act, was also presented. Put a negro, a Jew, a sissy, and a German teacher together, and you have 'The Nonsense School. It is even funnier than the name implies."

"The Street Fakir', a laughing prescription, was accorded a huge welcome. A street fakir selling a famous panacea, a negro comedian and a genuine country hick, made up the cast of this humerous production."

"Patter', a dialogue with parts taken by a negro and a member of the audience, brought down the house time after time."
