JIM 100 Years ago: Columbia Graded & High, May 16, 1912 Columbia High School's end of the school year was elaborate and lengthy. They didn't have a Project Graduation back then. And the High School graduates got a second class education; that is, it was for three years of study, not four. But then, as now, graduating from High School was a major - perhaps the major - event of the year. Back then , when the CHS Class of 1912 went forth to make their collective mark on the world as the Class of 2012 will do Friday night, May 18, 2012. See also: Graduation edition with photos and biographical sketches of the Adair County High School Class of 2012 By JIM The School Year Closes at the Columbia Graded & High, 1912 One hundred years ago today -- May 16th, 1912 -- was commencement day at the Columbia Graded & High School, but as with the school on the other hill across town, commencement was but the final event in a week so crammed with activities the News could have put out a special edition devoted to nothing else. As stated in the lead sentence of the article, "The people of Columbia enjoyed what were perhaps without doubt, the best exercises during any commencement week in the history of the school. These were the culminating events of a year's most successful work."
