Time capsule from 1931 found in Dexter High School rubble
A torn orange pennant and a glass sealed class prophecy were unearthed Friday as Dexter High School was demolished. The capsule buried under the flagpole, placed during the 1931 or 1932 class, yielded only a nearly unreadable message and a pennant once tied to senior day traditions. Theo Garrison received the pennant as a gift from the 1931 class member.
