There is something new in traffic warning signals at a dangerous corner in front of the Dexter Agricultural Rural School and High School. A portable blinker light, activated by a large battery, gives approaching drivers warning that school children are crossing busy Ann Arbor St. Several of these blinker signs are trundled into place, four times daily, by youthful traffic "cops," under the direction of Jack Klingeberger, elementary school principal and director of traffic patrols.

Jones School

Jones School was an anchor of Ann Arbor’s historically Black neighborhood (what is now Kerrytown) from the early twentieth century until 1965. Many living Ann Arbor residents remember attending Jones School during the Civil Rights Era. In 1964 the Ann Arbor Board of Education acknowledged that, with over 75% Black students, Jones was a “de facto” segregated school. Jones School closed in 1965, and several years later the building reopened as Community High School.
