their latest acquisition, which is in
the form of class pins and rings.
The design is fairly simple, but is
"quite attractive," as they term it.

shield on a white gold background.

a small key with the larger portion
of the pin. Engraved on the shield
is H. H. S. and on the key is a small
indicative of their graduation
date. X

H. H. S. on them. The "29 is omitted,
due to an error in casting. Only
three of the class purchased rings,
pins being favorites.
