EDITORS NOTE: We are forever indebted to those members of the
Algoma High School Class of 1920 who researched and recorded significant
AHS history in their annual. The annuals for all of the early years of AHS
were titled "Crescent Beach Echoes," taken, no doubt, from the beautiful
crescent beach formed by Lake Michigan that adorns the shoreline of the
City of Algoma. The following is an extract from page 60 of the 1920
annual in a section entitled "Alumni Greetings":
"Since the organization of the Algoma graded school as a three-year
high school in the year 1886, there have been graduated from the
institution 163 young men and 194 young women, making a total of 357. An
effort is being made to effect an organization of these into an Alumni
Association, which like similar organizations in other cities, will keep
up an active interest in the Alma Mater that gave them their first real
start."
As a note of clarification, we believe the year of organization - 1886 -
was an oversight on the part of the students who researched and recorded
the information. As you will note from the list of graduates that follow,
the first AHS class graduated in the spring of 1888, meaning they had to
have been enrolled in the fall of 1885. Perhaps the students meant "school
year," which is always designated by the year of graduation. In any case,
the list of alumni of AHS that follows is a very important record of the
early graduates. We have listed them here in the order they were
originally published in the annual and most of the information will be
self-explanatory. For the female graduates, the students were kind enough
to provide their married names following their maiden names. They also
recorded the student's last known location, which will be of enormous
benefit to those who are genealogists. The students went on to say:
"Undoubtedly there are a number of mistakes in the addresses given in
spite of the pains taken in submitting the list to various individuals
most competent to know before putting it into the hands of the printer. We
trust, nevertheless, that the list will prove an interesting and valuable
directory of our old "grads."
