Here's an enthusiastic group of Lions cleaning up bricks from the old Ireland High School. The high school was built in 1915 so you can imagine this job took a little time and patience. Once cleaned, these bricks were used as part of the New Ireland elementary school bell tower construction. The school is built on the former site of the old high school, and now carries a part of Irelands past onward. These bricks were also utilized in the Lions Club food stand location on the Dubois Co. 4-H fairgrounds. From left:
