Very few males graduated from Marietta High School until well after the Civil War. Class size shrank dramatically in that era. More boys started attending in the 1890s. This list notes those graduates who had died by 1904 and, for a few, it lists to where the graduate moved.

Lafayette Day, Oct. 19th, 1898.

Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio), October 20, 1898, Page 2

Wednesday afternoon was devoted to the exercises in commemoration of Lafayette, the great French hero of the American war for independence. Every school, every department participated in exercises appropriate and beautiful. To say that these were interesting an instructive but faintly express the truth. It surely was a patriotic lesson inculcated in such a fitting manner that the pupils of Marietta’s schools will long remember the day and cause.

The pupils responded very liberally to the contribution for a monument to General LaFayette which is to be unveiled at the Paris Exposition in 1900.

The pupils of the High School had handsomely decorated the room in which the exercises were held and rendered the following program perfectly to the large and appreciative audience.

Music-Marselliaise - High School
Governor’s Proclamation - Chas. Lenz
Music, Piano Duet - Ethel and Anna Winsor
