Lawrence bell in old high school tower begged for safe home
Lawrence residents urge school authorities to place the historic big bell from the old high school in the new building.

Despite calls by Senator Rankin and others, the bell remains outdoors, neglected in a schoolyard as debates over budget and space stall preservation.
