Winnfield Senior High School principal Jane Griffin (Right) received a large, new U.S. flag for the school campus on August 30. It was presented by Lion president Ronnie Brazzell (Left) as an expression of the Club’s patriotism, optimism and civic pride in Winnfield. The entire downtown area enjoys the red, white, and blue flags and banners on several designated “flag days” every year.
