01
Artifact Overview
The donor wore this tassel upon graduation from Oliver Perry Morton High School in Hammond, Indiana, in June, 1964. He proudly hung it on the bulletin board in his freshman dorm room at Rose Polytechnic Institute in Terre Haute, Indiana. But, by his sophomore year, he felt this was juvenile display, so he boxed the tassel up.
