END OF ALUMNI PAGE/PART ONE
Part Two follows after this short message from me...
This project was extracted by Darilee Bednar. ... the yearbooklady. I've been collecting high school and college annuals for 10 years and have a listing of the collection in yearbooklady's attic The actual collection is part of a free genealogy library located in at 3rd St Book Exchange, 1615 3rd St., downtown Marysville, WA 98270.
The yearbook created by the class of 1921. Each student was pictured individually. They are grouped by classes but presented in alphabetical order (they are listed as presented). Following the custom of this time, they did not smile for the camera, they wore their very best, and silly quotes were given. All the students in the lower grades were from Ainsworth. Three exceptions were in the Senior class and their home city are listed. There are no autographs in this particular book.

A good extractor only presents the stuff they find...in an orderly manner...So...I have one observation and made one editorial decision. I thought some of the silly comments were rather cruel (that's my observation) and I did not use the Class Yell for the Sophomores. They had one...and while it was typical of that era I have chosen not to include it.
This page has been given to county and the USGenWeb Project. It is a not-for-profit...gift.
