Yoncalla High School Class of 1928

Yoncalla High School Class of 1928

Year: 1928

Formal class portrait of the Yoncalla High School graduating class of 1928, Douglas County, Oregon. This 8 x 10 composite studio photograph shows the full graduating class: eight girls and two boys. The eight young women pictured here also formed the school’s basketball team and, according to family recollection, finished with the best record in their competition. Blanche Irene Toner, later Blanche Dear, appears second from the top row. This portrait preserves a small but vivid piece of Yoncalla and Toner family history, linking school life, athletics, and pioneer-descended families in rural Oregon.
