Among original documents saved by my grandparents are two programs for the 12th and 13th annual commencements for the Doylestown High School, held at Lenape Hall, on Thursday Evening, June 23, 1904, and on Thursday Evening, June 22, 1905. Perhaps one or more of these names will be of special interest to someone on the PABUCKS list. Names of the Class of 1904: James Dudbridge Barrett Chester Edison Bratsing Christine Sara Brodie Florence Margaret Browne Edith Carrell George Campbell Fetter Howard Watson Flack Jennie Ashworth Henk Emma Weinberger Kratz Anne Rebecca Metlar Ethel Avolyn Ott Adeline Cadwallader Ruos Helen Claire Ruos Edward Comly Trego Mary Ann VanPelt Martha Keeler Worthington Names of the Class of 1905: Fred Warren Ely Anna Fell Omar Harrison Keller Eva Lillian Kirk Mary Etta Kolbe Blanche Mabel Morris Herbert Nicholas Edna Parry Angerona Rich Helen Felix Rufe Carmen Malinda Schrack Franklin Monroe Twining Eleanor Van Benschoten Alma Van Benschoten Special Course - Helen Richmond Kirk ALUMNI are listed on the back of each program -- identical on both programs, except as noted [in brackets] below, and of course with the addition of the Class of 1904 added to the Alumni list for the 1905 program. That 1904 alumni list is identical to the graduation list above, except that middle initials are used in all but two cases, rather than the full names given above. The exceptions: Florence Browne H.
