Fort Dodge, IA High School Alumni & Students in the Service 1918
Alumni (in the Service during World War I in 1918)
The F. D. H. S. has been put on the map by its illustrious Alumni. The splendid type of its Alumni shows, in a large measure, the high standard of the school. The graduates of the F. D. H. S. have gained renown in almost every line of endeavor. Many of the most prominent and successful business men of this city are graduates of the F. D. H. S.
Fort Dodge High School is justly proud of the manner in which her graduates have responded to the call of their country. Alumni who have become prominent in the world, have cast aside their ambitions and are doing their bit whether "with the men at the front" or "with the men behind the men at the front."
When the men were drawn from the local companies for the Rainbow Division, which is now in France, three graduates and one undergraduate of the F. D. H. S. were taken. Others, who joined the companies here, are now on the border at Camp Cody, while many others are scattered throughout the country at different training camps, or naval stations.
The men in service today are carrying with them that spirit which was fostered in High School.
At the present time F. D. H. S. has a fine representation in the leading colleges of the country, and we must not forget that they, too, are doing their duty for when their call comes they will be better fitted for service to their country.
It is to be hoped that when this war is over, and our men returned, that a firmer bond between them and the school may be established by the formation of an Alumni Association.
The following list of Alumni now in service is complete up-to-date as far as is known. Of course it is impossible to find the whereabouts of some of them who are now scattered to the four corners of the earth.
