Al Voorhis, Richard Grisham, Carole Anderson, Dave Anderson and Freddie Grisham were a few of the visitors from the Mason Historical viewing graduation photos at the Mason High School during the March 2010 meeting.
Looking for Mason Composite Graduation Photos
Many of you may remember the Composite Graduation photos hanging in the halls at previous high school buildings. Many of these photos, from the 1920's and beyond, are now prominently displayed in the halls of the current Mason High School. Over the years, some photos have been damaged or lost. We need graduation photos for the class beginning in 1886 to 1919 also, 1922 and 1924. If you have any of these photos, or know someone who may, the historical society and the high school are working cooperatively to complete this project. We would only need to borrow the photo, it would be scanned into the computer and enlarged to match the others. Contact the Historical Society at 513-398-6750 and ask for Sherri.
