79 year old class ring found

While hunting Sunday I found this 1928 class ring from Kingsville High School. Now I need some help trying to find it's owner. It also has the initials V. O. inside. I'm guessing there couldn't have been too many graduates in 1928 with these initials. I'm also guessing if the owner is still alive they would be in their 90's. Could you imagine getting such a personal item returned? The memories that could be associated with this relic?

I need some help from the DodgeBoard members in returning this lost ring.

That's exciting.... Google found:

Kingsville high school - Google Search


"Kingsville high school" + 1928 graduate - Google Search

No direct hits..

Just a quick look and I found Kingsville in Missouri, Texas, Louisiana, Ohio and Maryland.

Try H.M King Highschool in Kingsville TX. This school was once Kingsville Highschool. Opened areound 1909. In 1924 the mascott was changed from the "Goat" to the "Brahmas".

I could not get graduate info prior to the 1960's. I feel good about this lead.... could be something else.

Kingsville high school Brahmas - Google Search

Another Option:

Class Ring Finder

I don't think this will expediate the process, as I don't know that the person who owned this ring will be looking.

Wherabouts did you find the ring, Dectector, if it's OK to ask? And it's gotta be from Texas, "cows" are big mascots down there!
