After perusing multiple yearbooks from the 1920s through the 1990s, I've come to the conclusion that every generation has had their share of people with fantastic names.
But today I'm going back even further... to 1907, the year my great-grandfather was in ninth grade at Pullman High School in Washington. At the time, Pullman was a relatively small school, so the pool of names in which to draw is more shallow than I'd wish, but I am not disappointed by these gems...
