Here’s a graduation celebration from Tiny Tuesday!
 
Today’s artifact is a 10kt gold ring, with black onyx and black enamel. The ring features a raised miniature of the tower of the original BMC Durfee High School. This belonged to Norma Ellen Dubiel, who was a member of the Durfee Class of 1958!
 
Durfee High School began issuing class rings during the 1910s; beforehand, students received pins during their senior year. This ring was manufactured by L.G. Balfour Company in Attleboro, MA. The company was founded in 1913 by Lloyd Garfield Balfour (1887-1973). The L.G. Balfour Company is still in business today!
 
Here at the FRHS, we have an extensive collection pertaining to BMC Durfee High School.
