Bishop Grant City Councilmen decided Monday night. Many, many Lehi adults can recall being summoned to their classes by the old bell, and it's history is inextricably entwined in the story of this city's education. When the old Central School was razed in 1922, the bell was the subject of a colorful alumni party in the Tabernacle, of which and Eunice Blanche Larsen Hutchines were in charge. Pro grams were made in the shape of a bell, and the party's theme was 'The Bell." Blanche Larsen then took the bell home to the Larsen residence, where it remained for many years, being taken out occasionally for parades. After her death, it passed to, other members of the family, and at one time was for junk. Once renearly sold fused a ' home in the Memorial Building, the bell was finally allowed .a resting place at the back of the building near the old Silver Band Wagon. Now, by vote of the Council, the bell will be transferred to the Hutchings t Museum for permanent care. The presentation has one string attached that the bell can be returned to the city should it ever be needed as a Civil Defense alarm or warning. Christofferson read the biographical sketch, and Alex D. Christ offerson offered the prayer at the mortuary.
