cfo Our Alumni ---7 ROM 1899 to 1928 there have been seven 1 hundred thirty-six graduates of the high schools of Gadsden, Disque and Gadsden High. The roll recalls the records of sons and daughters who have honored the name of their Alma Mater. Each class offered so many worthy of honor that it was a problem to select only one representative from each class to appear in this year’s annual. The choice was made without prejudice or favoritism to illustrate the varied careers of our graduates, and to record with appreciation the successes they have made in their chosen professions. May each class thrill with pride at the representative chosen. I
