Hudson High School Class of 1917

Last week, on June 23, the Class of 2017 graduated from Hudson High School. On June 26, 1917, a picture of that year's Hudson High School graduating class appeared in the Hudson Evening Register. The picture includes not only the graduates--10 young men and 19 young women--but also the high school principal, Guy P. Davis, and the superintendent of schools, Charles S. Williams.
The building in which these students would have spent their senior year and the second half of their junior year was 401 State Street.

Completed in 1915 and dedicated on January 4, 1916, the building was considered the epitome of all that was desirable in a school building, "constructed and equipped according to the most modern ideas."

    A few years ago I was informed that the High School Building at 401 State St. collapsed during its construction.
    Might you have the details?
