®o ©ur (CitijPUH ETHER or not the Prescott High School is doing HI ier duty ie community she serves, must be judged from the fruit of her efforts. The first class to grad- uate from this school received their diplomas in nineteen- hundred-and-five. They were four in number. The size of the graduating classes has steadily increased from year to year reaching a maximum with the present class of nineteen- hundred-and-thirteen, with fifteen members. The record of graduates dating from the first, to the last class to graduate (1912) shows a total of sixty-one alumni. Of the sixty-one students who have gone out bearing certification of having completed the required four years of work, seventy-eight and eight-tenths per cent have entered institutions of higher education or training. The entire graduating class of this year are making definite plans to continue their education ; ten are expecting to go to a university, two to a normal school and three to a special training school. These facts alone place us in a class by ourselves and give us the distinction of being the foremost academic school in the State. Our students are scattered from West Point to Stanford and the records that they have made for themselves have established the credit of our school beyond question or doubt. The mid-year report of our boys in Stanford this year makes special mention of the fact that they are three of the best students in the freshman class. Many reports from other quarters are no less satisfying and none are bad. We are indeed proud of those who have gone out from us as graduates and of the standing and credit that they have established for us, but we are no less proud of the spirit of enthusiasm and loyalty that exists within the body of stu- dents that constitutes the Prescott High School of today, to whom we shall look for still more worthy achievements.
