Item is a large piece of matting containing individual portraits of the members of the Brandon College class of 1950 with the first initial and last name of each person identified. In the centre of the board is a photograph of the Brandon College shield of arms and the title "Class of '50."
Two pieces of maroon felt have been seamed together to create the flag. Tears along the top
