Wiconisco High School Graduates, 1909-1918

Above, a colorized newspaper photograph of the Wiconisco High School with notable adults standing in front, as published in the Lykens Register, May 31, 1901. Previously published here December 4, 2021.

On May 16, 1952, and May 23, 1952, the Lykens Standard published a list of all Wiconisco High School graduates from 1899 to 1952. The list was published at the request of the Wiconisco High School Alumni Association for an event they had planned for the end of the month.

The list gave some basic information about the graduates including where they were working, the post secondary schools they attended, their current addresses, and if women whether they were married and to whom. The full list is presented here on the blog in multiple blog posts.
