I found this lovely commencement program in a neighborhood antiques store here in Fort Worth, Texas. At over one hundred years old, it is in remarkably pristine condition! 

Not included with these images is the following information:

Class Motto: Through Difficulty to the Stars

Class Flowers: Rose and Myrtle

Class Colors: Gold and White

The Baccalaureate Sermon was given Sunday morning, June 2, at the Trinity Lutheran Church by Rev. W. L. GUARD.

I also found some wonderful postcards and a pretty photo from the same period, and I believe they belonged to the same person who had kept this graduation program. You can see the postcards in the Vintage Indiana Postcards section.  Some are listed for auction on eBay as of this writing, Nov. 6, 2002.

You can see the photo of four Rockport girls here.
