Description:
Members of the Battle Creek High School class of 1897 pose for a class photo. A June 29, 1947, article in the Enquirer and News made note of the class' 7th reunion in celebration of its 50th anniversary. "Probably no single class that has graduated from Battle Creek high school has had as many reunions." In 1897, had been less than 30 years that Battle Creek high had been turning out out graduates. A Jan. 1, 1925, article in The Battle Creek Enquirer and The Evening News noted that two students — "both of them girls" — comprised the first class to graduate from Battle Creek High School in 1869.
