Comment:  Gelbach and Sutherland appear only in the 1920 edition of The GEMS.  Registrar's Office has no record of these gentlemen receiving their degrees.  According to the Registrar's Office, John Almquist received his BS degree in 1919. His senior class picture appears in the 1920 GEMS year book.
