[or-roots] 1930 Seniors

[Denise Sproed]

I made it to the Archives this afternoon and scanned 51 pages covering the following counties.

 

Coos County

Crook County

Curry County

Douglas County

Wheeler County

Yamhill County

 

Appreciated Barbara’s hints about finding the file within the Supt of Education correspondence files.  A single file folder with Seniors and then pages within in order by County and then within the county by school.

 

A couple of the lists were handwritten and less complete than the format had requested.  Also interesting to me was the major subject of “Commerce”.  Not even a word commonly used today in our high schools.

While at the State Archives yesterday, I took a look at the file that Layne was talking about concerning a statewide list of the Seniors in 1930.  If anyone else goes to take a look at it, ask at the desk, and they will bring you the box that the folder is in.  In the box the folder is filed under "Seniors." The box is made up of correspondence with the Superintendent of Public Instruction.

 

The folder is arranged alphabetically by county.  Within each county, the schools are primarily arranged alphabetically by the city or town that the school is in rather than by the name of the school.  I scanned the approx. 30 pages of Lane County records.  Attached is a sample.
