Anybody know what type of fund-raiser the 'Community Chest'  was?

    So is the Dicky Spangler in the picture from Alexander Graham Junior High that same as Clemmie Spangler, a very successful businessman?

    I believe that the 'community chest' is the precursor to the "united way". An early version of the United Way.

    Blake - I bet you're right that 'Dickie' in Clemmie Dixon Spangler. Good catch, and thanks for the comment and link!
