High School Dedication, Salem, Indiana

The program was pretty much what you'd expect for a high school event:

Invocation -- Rev. A. B. Wilsion
Song, America -- Audience
Solo -- Elsie Evans
Announcements
Presentation -- W. W. Hottel
Acceptance -- Geo. H. Telle
Song -- Girls Chorus
The Citizen -- F. J. Heacock
Solo -- Constance Steiner
Address -- Dr. Nathaniel Butler
Song -- Girls' Chorus
Benediction -- Rev. W. B. Wright

It would be nice to know more about the worthies who presented and accepted and addressed, and which churches the reverends served. That will take some research.

One minor mystery lingers: The ceremony was held, says the card, in Lyon Hall. But Lyon Hall (or Lion Hall, as that card's caption has it) wouldn't be built for another quarter of a century, as a WPA project. Probably the Lyon Hall mentioned on the card was an assembly hall on the second floor of the new school building.
