Copies of Rodney B. Wilson High School collage photos available
The Clinton County Historical Society has decided to make copies of the photo collages from the Wilson Center accessible to the community. The photos have been digitized, and for a donation you may obtain a digital file to use as you wish.
After the sale of the former Rodney B. Wilson High School and Junior High School building, the Clinton County Historical Society was fortunate to obtain the framed collage photos from the graduating classes of 1925, 1941, 1945-1967, that had been hanging along the hallways for so many years.
Central School was the high school before Rodney B. Wilson was built for the 1925 graduating class. They also have the whole school photo from 1921 taken at Central School.
The frames are well worn and of the many individual photos they contain, fewer than five are missing.
To obtain a file, you will need to contact CCHS to arrange the file transfer. Contact the Museum at pgsmuseum.com, or 989.292.9096 or the Archives at petersj@msu.edu.
