  • Cross and Crown

    Thu, Apr 11, 2013

    The library got a gift yesterday.  Someone donated their 1957 issue of the Cross and Crown.  If you’re not familiar with it, this is the yearbook from Fox Valley Lutheran High School.  We do maintain a collection of yearbooks from Appleton schools, but for some reason the oldest we had of this publication was 1991.
