From the Sioux Valley News, Correctionville, Iowa, 
June 14, 1900:

HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI.

What Became of the Gradates of the Correctionville High School.

President Edmunds of the board of education in making his address 
last year to the graduating class remarked upon the fact that no 
graduate of the Correctionville high school had ever become a loafer 
upon the streets or a discredit to the school. Mr. Edmunds afterward 
made a list of the alumni and took considerable pains to ascertain 
the whereabouts and employment of each, and has kindly allowed the 
NEWS to publish it herewith together with a little additional data. 
Seventy-one students have gone far enough to be classified in the 
llth grade but while practically no graduates left before receiving
