The May 14th, 1925 edition of the Redding Herald contained an account of the graduation of Redding High School on May 13th, 1925. 11 different seniors graduated. The Superintendent was Prof. J.M. Stoke. Faculty were C.H. Marple, L.E. Omans, Miss Blanche Roberts, Miss Sylvia Waugh, Miss Mildred Trullinger, Mrs. Gayle Wilkinson, Miss Florence Hoffman, and Miss Ferne Seaton.
On May 9th, the night before graduation, the Senior Class had its play, “Welcome Home, Jimmy.” Gate receipts were $62.80 for that night.
The Rev. C.H. Marple gave the class sermon at the Redding United Methodist Church on the evening of May 10th. On May 11th, the seniors went on a class picnic to Creston. They left Redding at 9:30 am, and arrived at Creston at 11 am. By contrast, it is around 30 minutes from Redding to Creston today. They were accompanied by their sponsor, L.E. Omans. They had a picnic dinner at noon, and they spent the afternoon in boat riding, swinging, and taking pictures. They attended a movie that evening.
The graduation was held on the evening of May 13th. Dr. John Hillman, President of Simpson College, gave the address.
Graduating were Emil Abarr, Vance Geiger, Glenn Baird, Howard Ullery, Bertha Saville, Belle Waugh, Chelsea Shafer, Janice Williams, Hollis Fluke, Dale Adair, and Wilma Quick.
