1911 LANSING GRADUATING CLASS

Lansing, Iowa

Following are the names of what appears to be the graduates of Lansing High School Class of 1911 from a photograph of the class members. The photographer is G. E. Robertson. He has printed Lansing, Iowa after his name. There are two ribbons tied in a "sailor's" knot at the bottom of the picture. The ribbons appear to be one white or a very light color, and the other is a darker color.

B. Vera Ahlstrom
Clyffe E. Bakewell
Neva D. Bakewell
Martha L. Boeckh
Raymond G. Hirth
Robert H. Kerndt
Myrtle M. Ladd
Norbert Thorton
Martha M. Wagner
Clarence M. Young
Lloyd A. Young

At the very top of the picture is a small plaque that states "Labor Conquers All". It appears to have been printed by the photographer. Apologies for any misspellings in the names. They were hand printed and in some cases are a little hard to read.
