Kemper finds rare Sterling pin. 1902 BTHS graduation. 1 of 6 ?

I am posting a rare find of mine. I believe it to be one of 6 Sterling graduation pins from Bonne Terre High School in Bonne Terre Mo. I am furnishing some of the documented history I have found. That together with the location I found this leads me to believe that it is as I stated. Bonne Terre Mo. is ,like a lot of other cities,rich in history and they do have an Historical Society that I may share this link with. I found this with my Ace 250 and I thought it was a piece of thick can slaw when I first retrieved it. I have not totally cleaned this and am sure it would present as new if I do. My most recent research shows that there were only 6 graduating seniors in 1902--

1902

Ollie Creglow (Mrs. W. W. League) - Bonne Terre, Mo.
Lizzie Frey (Mrs. Charles Bruce) - Bonne Terre, Mo.
Edwin Helber - Deceased.
Etta Moon - Teacher - Boulder, Colo.
Lena Radle (Mrs. L. E. Rhodes) - Bonne Terre, Mo.
Luther Ross - St. Louis, Mo.

Thanks Ha. Yeah I do. I have found lots of local history items like tokens that have a direct link to my city and surrounding cities.

Do you live in Bonne Terre? I work at the prison there.
