Well if u say that is what the money is for wouldn’t be better to not put that much money in engraving @still sale them for 5.00 u can make more money @sell them for that price then not sale them at all with that many Brock’s at 5.00 dollars x.

I understand why the cost of the bricks is 50.00 but seriously it’s just too much for many if not most of the past graduates. There may be a few who don’t know about them but I can guarantee you its a very limited few that don’t have internet access. I still talk to former classmates all over the country and they keep up with everything through northescambia.com, I think simply the cost is just too high for most people. I myself am going to purchase one but I’ll be very surprised if they ever sell enough to build the memorial.

If the Naval Museum can sell a brick for $100 or $250. $50 sounds like a deal to me.
I’m surprised there isn’t more interest but then Century doesn’t seem to have that artsy-craftsy feel to the town. Where are the seniors who graduated? I have 3 bricks from my grade school and I wouldn’t take a million for the memories they bring back. I feel sad for Century, the people seem to try so hard and can’t seem to get any kind of help.

‘90 graduate …….$50 each that is crazy. My thoughts and its just me everyone has their opinion. All the bricks could be sold at $5.00 each to go towards a charity or help the people of Century that lost their homes…Could have got prison work release help out so it wouldn’t cost us tax payers .

Does the high school have a mailing list of students who graduated? As Willis said, maybe some graduates are out of the area now. If they’re contacted, maybe they would buy a brick.

“Chris, a lot of the people that graduated from Century don’t live there and are well employed.” So what is that telling you? a: can’t live in Century and be well employed. b: Left Century and are not concerned with old bricks.

>>>If u want them to sell only charge.5.00 a piece 50.00.dollars is just.stupid.they didn’t cost y’all anything.be reasonable.

Actually, getting them to the company that engraves then, have then engraved and shipped back is costing them nearly $50 per brick.

Chris, a lot of the people that graduated from Century don’t live there and are well employed.
So yes some can’t really afford this but there is a lack of pride or caring about this, monument, taking place also.
