Now is the Hour
When we must say goodbye.
Soon we'll be sailing
Far across the sea.
While you're away,
Oh then remember me.
When you return
You'll find
Me waiting here.
Words & Music by Maewa Kaihau, Clement Scott & Dorothy Stewart
Recorded by Bing Crosby, 1947 (#1 for 3 weeks)
As you can see, we need other pictures of graduating classes from Rison School. So far, these are the only ones that we have. This page will not be complete without your class' picture.
Before Mrs. Louise Fain, a former teacher at Rison, died this year at the age of 93, one of our Association members stayed in touch with her. Mrs. Fain was very curious about "her" Rison students so she was told about various people - some she remembered (and some she didn't!). Later, she was sent a list of the known occupations of many of the Rison students and she was asked to try to match the occupation with a student's name. Well, if she finished the little test we don't know.
We thought that you might like to see this list of occupations and maybe even take the same little test given to Mrs. Fain. If we have overlooked some occupations, please let us know and we'll add them.

Rison High School Graduates
Here's a listing of the graduates at Rison. The class sizes ranged from 3 (all female) in 1930, to 47 (23 of which were male) in 1943. Can you imagine why there were so few in 1930 and so many in 1943?
In some cases, all those named did not, in fact, graduate as explained below.
If we think back as to what was happening in the world during those years, we know that there was a depression in 1930 and that WWII had started in December 1941.
In the case of the class of 1930, could it be that the families needed their male children to work during the depression?
As for the class of 1943, according to graduates Marguerite Lockmiller Parker and Bill Rice, all of those named in that class below did not graduate - some dropped out to go to work and others either joined the military or were probably drafted. Click here to see a picture of the graduating Class of 1943.
