Harry's graduating class (the class of 1901) had 41 students. Some of these students would have important roles to play in world history and others would work hard to better their own community.

Harry Truman became the 33rd President; Bess Wallace became his wife and First Lady; Charlie Ross became a newspaper editor and Truman's Press Secretary; Elmer Twyman became a great doctor and surgeon; and others became community leaders.

Harry is pictured: top row, third from left, with hand on shoulder of a friend. Bess is pictured: second row, far right. Charlie is pictured: seated on grass, far left.
