After the tenth grade the students went to another East Side high school to complete their work for the diploma. The freshman class that entered in the fall of 1928 was destined to become the first graduating class since the school was converted to a four-year high school during this year. The first graduating class, 32 in number, was awarded the diploma in June, 1932 and Harding was a full-fledged Saint Paul high school. 8.5 oz. cotton/polyester blend fleece jersey lined hood twill neck tape tear away neck label 1x1 ribbing at cuffs & waistband metal eyelets standard fit
