Many thanks to Mr. Tom Sadowski of Lincolnville, Maine for providing this 1925 Southern JH class pin that he found among his family memorabilia. Tom located our association through this website and contacted us about his find. He believes it may have belonged to one of his parents (Joseph Sadowski and Estelle Olejarczyk) who had connections to the Reading area in the 1920's. His parents would have been 13 or 14 years old in 1925. This pin would have been from the inaugural class of Southern Junior High School.
