Alice Biddle, from Corvallis, was actually one of three students in Oregon State's first graduating class in 1870. The other two were men with the last names of Currin and Veach, but Alice is the one we most remember. Perfect grades. Perfect attendance. OSU's first woman graduate. To top it off, a bachelor of science degree in the liberal arts. And she was only 16.
I am also tagging this for week 16 of the weekly challenge - Tell me a story
Great shot and great story!
I was the only person in my high school graduating class of over 500 to graduate with perfect attendance all four years. I was always afraid I would miss something. I loved high school!

Thank you all so very much. Maybe some day there will be a building dedicated to her.
