WEST FRANKFORT, IL (William McPherson West Frankfort/Benton Gazette. Please click on the link to read the full story. Here is an excerpt) Students at Central Junior High School have rallied around a beloved member of the CJHS family; school bus driver Henry Vaughn. Henry’s wife Gaye Vaughn lost her life in a tragic house fire last month. Co-workers and friends have all expressed admiration of the grace, dignity, and kindness showed by Vaughn since the tragic loss took place. “We had a one dollar lazy day,” added Central Junior High School principal Charley Cass. “What that meant was that students could wear their hats for a dollar, or they could wear pajamas for a dollar. They could get out of running a mile that day for a dollar. They could buy their way out of detention, and then we raffled off two homework passes.”
