 Franklin High School Monarch Yearbook

First Edition Of The Monarch; Contributed by William Jacob "Bill" Brunette

 

This online edition of the 1940 Franklin High School Monarch Yearbook is dedicated to 1940 graduate Alma Brunette (11.25.1921 - 05.17.1946).  The daughter of William & Emma Annie Dieckmann Sauer Brunette, Alma was killed in a plane crash near Richmond, Henrico County, Virginia.  Buried in the New Baden Cemetery, she was returning from a trip to New York to visit her fiance Lawrence Cornelius and purchase a wedding dress for their planned July 1946 wedding.  Although she is gone, Alma's words live on.  In her yearbook, Alma wrote down the names of the towns & communities from which most of her classmates came.  The materials below were placed online by her brother Bill Brunette's son to honor the aunt he never knew.

Dedication

"To our superintendent and friend, F. A. Davison, whose loyalty and never tiring assistance have endeared him to the hearts of all who know him, we dedicate this, the first edition of the Monarch."
