Missing Banners

The first graduating class of Milton High School, the Class of 1938, is represented with a banner displayed in the Milton High School Cafeteria.

Where are you Milton High School graduating classes of 85, 88, 93, 94, 95, 96 and 97? Your legacy is missing from the alumni banner display representing each class of Panther graduates.

When the 2014-2015 school year resumes the Milton High School Senior Class will be ready to leave their academic and athletic memoirs on their school campus along with a picturesque tribute of the year of their graduation.

The Class of 2015 banner is prepared and currently suspended in a distinguished location of the cafeteria of Milton High School alone, next May at the senior breakfast the seniors will follow the tradition of moving their specially designed banner to the alumni exhibition.

“Graduates of Milton enjoy visiting the campus and viewing their class banner.” Debby Shepper commented. “They may be on campus for their grandchild’s football camp and stop in for a moment to reminiscence.”

“We are proud of the way it has come together,” she continued. “We hope that our alumni may incorporate the cafeteria into their reunions  and or that end of the year banquets may host their events here.”

However,  seven class banners are missing from the chronologically designed display. Each class that has previously graduated has purchased the banner representating their graduation year themselves. The banners are designed and made locally at Sign Crafters and average about $100.00 to purchase. The classes of 1985, 1988, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996 and 1997 are not represented.

The Class of  1938  banner suspends first from the cafeteria ceiling with the Class of 2014 being the most recent addition to the alumni collection. There are empty spots ready for the missing banners to be hung.

Milton High’s Debby Shepper can be contacted at 983-5600 ext. 112 for assistance in adding your class to the display.
