In June, Cherril Mitchell of Clinton officially graduated from high school after 58 years. Lack of finances was a major factor in preventing her graduation in 1939, when she should have graduated from Cyprus High School in the Salt Lake Valley. Because of the Depression, her large family didnt have much money, Mitchell said. She didnt have the funds back then to pay school fees or buy a school ring or a yearbook, but she found a job to help defray the expenses. Mitchell said she earned $5 a week, which wasnt very much even in those days, but the money helped. Instead of finishing her final year in high school, Mitchell decided to keep working. Many of the young people in that era were in the same situation, and the importance of finishing school wasnt stressed like it is today, she said. Mitchell said she regretted that decision for many years, and added that she always meant to change her status, though the responsibilities of everyday living seemed to get in the way. When I filled out a job application or anything else that asked how many years of school completed, I always had to check the box for 1 1 instead of 12, she said. I never went to my high school reunions because I was embarrassed I hadnt graduated. Maybe now I will be able to go to my next reunion. Mitchell graduated through the adult education program. After working for a couple of years as a young woman, in 1941 Mitchell married her first husband and began raising her children. She returned to work shortly after he died a few years later, leaving her with three young daughters. She was a single parent for nine years until 1962, when she remarried and gained six more children with the marriage. There was always plenty to do after I had my own family, and I wasnt able to go back, Mitchell said. Through the years she worked to blend the two families. The home they lived in also had large gardens and a fruit orchard, and every year Mitchell thought about going back to school as she was bottling fruit and canning vegetables. She also kept busy in the community and in her work with her church. Mitchell made sure her own children finished their schooling, and she found her desire to graduate from high school never went away, even after her own children were grown and she had greatgrandchildren. Mitchell said her second husband died four years ago, leaving a great gap in her life. While Mitchell had looked into finishing her classes in the past, she was stopped from enrolling by different factors such as weather or having to drive at night. Finally in December, Mitchell said her daughters helped her enroll in classes at the Davis Applied Technology Center. She obtained her scholastic records from Cyprus High School and completed the work for her diploma with the combined effort of several people. One son, who is an English teacher, helped Mitchell with English homework and a grandson helped with math. She then took some computer classes and finished up her required credits. Another young woman who had already taken the test for a high school diploma lent Mitchell a book to study for the final tests. After that many years, you forget so much, Mitchell said. Math is different. There are so many different parts to it. But shes glad that she made the effort to finish. It was a good experience.
