ALUMNI LeMars High School
Throughout sixty memorable years the alumni of LeMars High School have been going forth into the world, seeking their fortunes by putting into effect the fund of knowledge and experience which they have so well earned during their school careers. It is with added inspiration that we glance through the list, feeling that in the past these same people, filled with the eagerness of youth, looked forward into the future ----- either with foreboding or glad hope.
In so much as this list is complete so far as we can ascertain, we take this opportunity to offer our apology to any individual who may have been advertently omitted. ~ 1941 The Bark – 60th Anniversary
