The first graduation from Waterloo High took place in 1895. That class consisted of one student, Aimee LuLu Moore. At the commencement exercises a year later, Joseph B. Hardy received his diploma, making the grand total of two graduates in two years. In 1897 Hartie Livingston, Mary Mueller, and Louis H, Zimmer successfully completed the courses prescribed. Since the founding of Waterloo High fifty-five years ago, 1,108 students have received their diplomas. The largest class in this school's history-fifty-one members--graduated in 1947.
