Mike Traw, IHS senior, has won an appointment to the Air Force Academy.

Picture: Emerson Lynn, Rotary Club immediate past president, and Keith King, president, are shown discussing the final details for the welcome sign east of Iola on U.S. 54 which the service club paid for and had constructed. Plans for similar signs are in the works for the south and west entrances to town.
