Palmer High School
1934-1939
This Class Autographs book was originally owned by Helen
Evelyn Glause of Palmer, Merrick County, Nebraska.
It contains entries from many of her school mates, friends and
family between the years 1934-1939. I have left the pages in order
as they have appeared in the autograph book to keep its natural
history in place. There will be spelling errors thru out the
transcription, as I kept the spelling as it was written in the
book. A few of the names were difficult to read, so you may find
errors. If you know the correct name or spelling, please send the
information so it may be corrected. Email me at
FamTreeGrl@aol.com.
I hope all of you enjoy this piece of my history, and of yours, as much as I have. I am pleased to be able to share it with all you. Nebraska will always have a very special place in my heart. No matter where I live, I will always be a Nebraskan at heart.
Owned and transcribed by her grand-daughter, Karla Archuleta. These contents may not be used on any other websites without my permission. January 16, 2002
