ALMIRA HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF 1930

HIGH SCHOOL INDEX

____________

     Carol Hipperson's husband is an attorney.   Recently, in a stack of "old stuff" from one of his clients who runs a curio/antique shop was found an invitation to a 1930 high school graduation.  It doesn't say what school, but it lists all of the graduates by name, and one of them is my mother, Margaret Seaton.  That would be Almira, Washington.  They passed that card along to me.  Here is a transcript of that card.
