The graduating class of 1911 was composed of thirteen students. Founded in 1897, the Napa High School is notable for not producing a single notable graduate, other than a handful of professional athletes. That said, the Napa Valley's development as the finest viticultural region in the US, and it's unending natural charms, have attracted prominent figures the world over. For a glimpse at Napa a hundred years ago, the ample ads provide a wholesome view of Americana, with illustrated ads for the Empire Theatre, A. L Voorhees and Company, men's clothier, the Semorile Printing Company, E. R. Gifford, more men's clothing , Kingan's ham and bacon at Horstmeyer's, the Alexandria Hotel, etc.
