1917 - Northwestern State Normal

If you had glanced the headlines of The Oklahoman, dated May 28, 1917, pg. 4, you might have read: Northwestern Graduates 88 - Largest Class In History of School Finishes Normal Work at Alva.

Alva, Okla., May 27, 1917 -- Eighty-eight seniors, the largest class ever graduated from the Northwestern State Normal, receive their diplomas this year. The larger percentage of the class are girls. Of the boys many have enlisted in the various branches of military service and received their credits without finishing the school year. The class represents an assemblage from all parts of the country. Not only is Oklahoma represented but Texas, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois and Louisiana also have students among the graduates. Only thirty percent of the class are residents of this city

Rev. John R. Abernathy of Muskogee, will deliver the baccalaureate address Sunday morning at 10:00 o'clock in the chapel hall. Monday is the final day of commencement week. Rev. J. F. Roach of Oklahoma City will deliver the commencement address.
