Sign Goes Up: Dr. Wiley Brownlee, on the center ladder, Community High School Dean, and Community students put up the school's new nameplate. It replaces the Jones School sign which identified the building at 401 N. Division. Students are raising $180 for the sign, which has gold colored letters on a black background. Students mounted the sign last week as part of a "Day of Contribution" to the school. Activities included a cleanup, carnival and dance.
