For the first time in its history the Novato school held public commencement exercises. The exercises were held at Loustaunau’s hall Friday evening. The children gave the large audience a splendid program – songs, recitations and two fine little plays, all well done and a credit to the children and their teachers. At the conclusion of the entertainment the class of twelve graduates received their diplomas from Supt. Davidson who made an interesting address. Following this the children held an informal dance. Those of the graduating class were Quincy Benning, Edna Butler, Lela Butler, Eleanor Carlile, Isabel Clark, Henry Frates, Mercedes Hall, Leslie Knutte, Elezio Regalia, Edward Regalli, Helen Trumbull, Hansten Warner.  Silvia Pifferio, of Burdell’s school also received his diploma.
