SENIORS Pictured above is the Graduation Class of 1912, the smallest class to ever graduate from CHS. The members were Myrtle DeLong, Alta Stanley, Harold Hodge, and Irvin Custer. (The first class graduated in 1910.) In 1917, seven years after the first graduating class, there was a total of 57 alumni of Coquille High School (30 girls and 27 boys). Fifteen of them had gone on to college (of these, 5 went to the University of California at Berkeley, 5 to Oregon Agriculture College, 2 to the University of Oregon, 1 to Willamette, and 1 to law school.) Twenty had remained in Coquille and had a variety of occupations: clerk, saleslady, telephone operator, teacher, cabinet maker, stenographer, confectionist, mill employee, and surveyor, etc. It is possibly a reflection of the times that none of the 10 girls who had married by 1917 had a career in those early years after graduation. However, 4 of the other girls became teachers, 1 went into nursing and 4 went on to college. 12 SENIORS
