Grades A, B, C, E, F, G and H may correspond to the current 7th-1st grades, respectively. This indicates that the students
listed would have graduated from high school in the years 1892-1898 (if they continued their education that far). Note that prior
to 1892, there was no high school classes offered and students had to go to Cincinnati for high school education. In 1892, the
first two years of high school were offered in Norwood. It has been written that in
1895, the first regular four-year high school course was begun at the Marion Street School (North Norwood).
The first Norwood high school graduating class was in 1899, one year after the youngest member
participating in the 1887 closing ceremony would have graduated from high school.
