I found this item in a box of old postcards. I thought it was definitely a nice graduation notice, especially since it was from 1927 . I have never heard of Kenosha Falls, Kansas, but it sounds like a neat little town ! I would be curious to know what happened to this student, and what he accomplished in life ! Thought it was cool and wanted to share it with everyone. Thanks for looking !
