b. 10 Graduation Memories of HazelWiggins, Hazel CarolineCategory: Memory Books. School Books.

GRADUATION MEMORIES OF HAZEL. The title page says: LIFE'S FIRST MAJORTASK COMPLETED. EVENTS THAT WILL NEVER FADE FROM THE MEMORY OF"Hazel Caroline Wiggins." The name was filled in by the owner of the book. Shegraduated June 12, 1930 and two little snippets of blue and silver fabric from hergraduation gown were saved. She graduated from Duluth Central High School,Duluth, Minnesota. Tucked in the book are her graduation announcement, theprogram from the commencement, the program from "Class Night," and thebulletin from the preceding Sunday from her church the First Methodist Churchfrom a service dedicated to the new graduates. It seems a bit poignant. Shefilled out the page listing her gifts and her activities the day of graduation, butno friends or faculty signed and there were no clubs or dances or parties. Anexample of her entries: On June 8th she returned from the church service andwrote: "On returning home I found no one home so spent most of the day bymyself except that I went down to Leif Ericcson [sic] Park in the afternoon andlistened to the concert given by Duluth Central's High School Band. One of thenumbers was "America." Everyone stood up and it was quite thrilling to see peoplestanding all over the hillside and the band playing. In the evening I studied awhilefor examinations, and then sat out in the porch swing with Mrs. Bendickson, oneof Newell Bendickson's friends threw a ball through the window next door." Thepages are held together but the staples pulled loose from the spine. The bookmeasures 7" x 5 1/4". There are some scratches on the suede as you can see in thepicture.
