In the picture above you will find the entire student body of the Alliance High School in the year 1902. There were four seniors: top row, second from left, Mary Howell; eighth from left, rmy Scholl ; ninth from left, Edna W ' illman: and front roii fifth from left, Harry Rice. Dear Seniors: When I read your letter asking for pictures and data of the Class of 1902, I had a hearty laugh. In the light of present day graduation habits, it is hard to realize that no picture of the class was taken — not even individual pictures. The yearbook did not come into existence until some years later. As for the facult) ' members at that time — the entire faculty consisted of Mr. Abner H. Buck! The Class consisted of four members : Amy Scholl, Edna Willman, Mary Howell, and my- self. Graduation exercises were held in the Holy Trinity Church, with Amy as valedic- torian and yours truly as salutatorian. Class colors were Nile green and white. Two members of our class, Edna Willman and Mary Howell, have long since passed on. The high school then consisted of one room on the second floor of the Central Building, which also housed all other grades. Numbered grades had not yet come into existence — primary, advanced primary, secondary, etc., was the method of classification. While the Class of 1902 was the first gradu- ating class, our diplomas were issued under the name of Allen Township High School, because, as I remember it, the actual con- stitution of the borough had not taken place as yet. Parenthetically, it might interest the grad- uates of your modern N.H.S. to know that the scholastic rating of the high school was good enough in 1902 for me to enter college that Fall with only a few conditions, which were easily made up. I am sorry that it is not possible to give you the pictures which you requested . . . My best wishes to you for a successful Senior year. Sincerely, Harry Rice.
