This monograph investigates the profile of high school students who passed the first entrance exam to the Itabaiana State High School in 1950, with the aim of identifying the socioeconomic profiles of the young women who passed. The specific objectives consist of: exposing the historical aspects of the Murilo Braga educational institution in relation to secondary education in Sergipe; highlighting the importance of preserving the school archive in preserving the history of the Murilo Braga State School (CEMB); analyzing documents safeguarded in the CEMB collection, which present information about the school trajectory of the approved students and about the completion of the first entrance exam to the GEI. Methodologically, the work is a historical research of a qualitative nature developed with documentary sources and a bibliographic review on the subject. The research was constructed from the analysis of documents safeguarded in the CEMB collection, namely: the files of the approved students; the admission and enrollment processes corresponding to the year 1950, in addition to documents about the initial trajectory of the school. Based on the analysis, it is indicated that the approved students belonged to the middle class and a large part of the students continued their studies in the first class of the course at the Murilo Braga Rural Normal School.
