The following is copied from an article by Jeff Gilliland about a Hillsboro City Schools Board of Education Meeting held on April 19, 2020. First news about the donation of Gladys' banners was received from GG and then again by Patty Walker Ryan. I was beginning to wonder if this was something that had been mentioned to me and I had forgotten or what was the story?
"Also noted was the donation of two banners by the family of Gladys Hiestand Uible, a 1911 Hillsboro High School graduate, which evidently come from the time she was attending the school. One of the banners is purple and white and the other is purple and gold. Davis said they will likely be placed on some sort of plaque in the board office or high school office." -- The Times Gazette, April 21, 2020.

The following clipping comes from the Highland County Press:
Then in yesterday's mail came the answer to the mystery in a letter from Angela Horton which included the thank you note from Hillsboro City Schools. Angela reports that the banners "were well done, sewn, wool felt. Not printed or "stamped" as they are today . . . and her name is on the back."
THANK YOU!
Thank you so much for the banners, they are awesome!! I will have them put on display either at our high school or in our boardroom. I will also make a name plate that reads, donated by the family of Gladys Hiestand, Hillsboro High School Class of 1911. I will also present them at our board meeting Monday April 20th.
Thank you again for donating a great piece of our school's history.
Tim Davis
Superintendent
Hillsboro High School class of 1997
