DOU MN STC)WN JOINT SENIOR- HIGH SCHOOL COST OF ARMS Arms (Shield): The Dexter Chief (top right as the shield is carried) is the open book and torch representing enlightenment through education. The sinister chief (top left) is the Coat of Arms of William Penn for whom Pennsylvania was named. The shield is divided by a chevron which symbolizes the spirit of dedication, charged with eight coach wheels, recalling the historical importance of Downingtown as the over night stopover between Lancaster and Philadelphia for colonial travelers. The number of coach wheels represents the eight districts which joined in making the existence of the new school possible. The bottom section is the historical log cabin which is reportedly the first home to be constructed in the area. Motto Ribbon: This ribbon boldly proclaims the name Downingtown High School. 4
