Surrounding the statue on the walls of the foyer are a number of paintings recently recent-ly acquired by the high school through private donations. dona-tions. The collection was assembled with the help of the Park City High School Alumni Association and several local artists.

"Principal Dozier is already al-ready well known for his enthusiasm for school athletics athle-tics but a lesser known fact is that he is also an avid art collector," he said. In addition to raising money to offset the cost of casting the statue, the Class of 1984 led by President Jon Yager also purchased the painting "Winter Aspens" by Dawna Barton. Local artists Bill Kran-stover, Kran-stover, Nancy Bradley and O.L. Turner also contributed paintings to the school.
