Have you had your picture in the Springville Herald or an article about your school? Or have you wondered what that lettcr-to-lhe-editor in last March's paper really said? Carla Morris, local resident and children's librarian of the Provo City Library, has been making an index of the Springville Spring-ville Herald for the years 1995 to 2(XK), and we have it at the library for you to come in and look up any information that you might. The index is housed in three, large loose leaf binders and are easily read, with the bound Springville Sp-ringville Herald close by to finish your project. Morris will continue adding to the index. She states that information infor-mation is useless unless it is retrievable. Willi the index, we have our city's history at our fingertips.
