Mystery Solved

The year was 1980. Jimmy Carter was president, Mt. St. Helens erupted and Rubik's cube was the newest fad. At Franklin High School that year the band banner went missing. The fate of the banner remained a mystery for twenty-eight years until September 2008. The banner was mailed to the school with an anonymous note explaining that it had been taken as part of a school prank in 1980. Wishing to clear his or her conscience, the former Quaker confessed the banner had been found in a long-forgotten storage box. The banner is now back home at Franklin and the Alumni Association says "Thanks" for its safe return. If there is any other Franklin memorabilia alums would like to donate to the Alumni Association, please let us know. We would love to hear from you.
