No Class Graduating From High School In 1950

Democratic Advocate, April 5, 1946.

(Posted – April 5, 2008)

Each spring, for more than 20 years now, the Carroll county's high schools have been turning out a graduating class.

But in 1950 an unusual situation will prevail. In that year there will be no graduation exercises of the high schools.

The reason will be that schools that have the seventh grade this year (1946) started under the 12-year program recently prescribed State-wide for Maryland's public schools. Students in the eighth grades and upwards will finish their high school course under the old 11-year program.

Hence, by 1950 the last class of the 11-year students will have been graduated and the first class of the 12-year students will have a year more to go. There just will be no graduation exercised at Westminster and other county high schools in 1950.
