Alpine School Has Graduating Class Of Young Mothers The first graduating class of Alpine School District Young Mothers' High School held graduation exercises on Wednesday, May 24th in the District Board Room. Eighteen young women received high school diplomas. The new school opened in Septem-ber to women living in the district who had not completed high school for reasons of pregnancy or marriage. During the year, approximately 80 students, ranging in age from four-teen to thirty, registered for classes. Located in Pleasant Grove, the school was not unlike the old one-roo-school house. The class of-ferings ranged from exercise to novels to needlework. In addition to studies which emphasized skills for mothers and homemakers, vocational training was offered to the career minded students. Another attraction for young mothers was the nursery where children would nap or play while Mom was sharpening her pencil on a real estate problem. Even with the additional help of the nursery, these women are to be com-mended for their perserverance in completing their studies. It was not an unusual occurance for the student to get husband and older children out of the door to work and school and then get a four year old, an eighteen month old and a tiny baby ready as Linda Dell (Mrs. John D.) did. Not only did Linda pack those books and assignments that helped her maintain a near 3.8 average, but she carried diapers, toys, bottles and of course, a change of clothes for each child. Linda graduated last Wednesday. Because of the Young Mothers' High School, she will be able to enroll earlier for additional training she hopes to obtain. The school will operate again next fall.
