A excerpt from a May 16, 1903, Lowell Souvenir article (page 1, column 5) about the West Creek Commencement stated:
    In some well chosen words Ella Miller expressed the affectionate farewell address, to the school officers, instructors, classmates and friends.
The article further added:

The 1903 class of graduating eighth graders consisted of nineteen students.
