Ronn Rohe of San Diego and alumnus of the Desert Sun School, donated this sign, now a table, to the Idyllwild Area Historical Society. It hung at the entrance to Desert Sun School (now AstroCamp) from 1946 though 1983, when it became the Elliott Pope Preparatory School. “At a school reunion in 2014, IAHS Director Robert Smith accepted donations of other DSS memorabilia and indicated that the museum “could really use a table. With that, the 14-square-foot sign, hand-carved from a solid cut of pine, was re-purposed into functional furniture,” Rohe said.Photo by JP Crumrine
