35 Years Ago

May 1984

Iola High School Mustangs tied for third in the 4A State Championships at Wichita Saturday out of the 64 teams that competed in the class. Peda Samuel won championship medals in the 100- and 200-meter dashes. Humboldt senior Mark Dobbins won first in the discus in class 3A.

Descendants of those who lived in Iola or the surrounding area in 1859, the year the city was founded, will serve as grand marshals of the quasquicentennial parade on June 9. Clyde Toland, an Iola attorney, is registering those who qualify. In a related event, Gary Hawk donated one of his paintings to be used in fund-raising and is pictured on page one with Terry Sparks, chairman of one of the celebration events, along with Carolyn Westgate, director of the Iola Area Chamber of Commerce.

Marty Taylor gave the graduation speech for the 1984 Iola High School Senior Class last night. Taylor was elected by his classmates for the honor. Susan Miller and David Campanini were co-valedictorians. Both had perfect 4.0 grade records throughout their high school careers.
