Apple Grove High School 1937 Graduating Class
Subject
Education During Great Depression
Description
Facing the hardships of the Great Depression, many children were required to forego their high school education and look for employment to help support their families. This photograph of the Apple Grove High School graduating class of 1937 shows that finishing school during the depression was not uncommon, however. The ratio of boys to girls graduating from this school in 1937 does suggest that boys, who could find work doing manual labor, were more often required to leave school than girls during this time.
