Beginning in this issue is a Pioneer History of Centerville, written shortly before her death a few years ago by the late Mabel S. Randall. David F. Smith has generously allowed us the use of the cuts (nearly $150.00 worth) used in his recently published book. In addition to these photos, the staff felt that this history, which will be run serially for 8 or 10 months, is of such interest and importance as to justify a special, hand-draw- n heading. Naturally, the heading should run across the entire width of the page so the question was to decide whether that width is to be four columns, as at present, or three columns, as in Volume I. havent heard expres- sions from so very many people, but those who have given their opinion have been practically The unanimous in wanting Newsette continued in its present size for at least another volume. So were going to start the history and the new volume in the present large size in the hope that that is the way you all want it and in the further hope that we will be able to continue for another 12 issues with four columns wide. For expressing themselves with financial contributions since last number, we thank Claude Kirkland, Harry Duckworth, Ethel Worsley, Kelvin Nelson, Allen H. Barber, Sutherland Clayton, Albert Mann, Harold Law, and Therice Duncan. o A Opens With Bonfire Party M I By the light of a huge bonfire on the school grounds, the Mutual Improvement associations began the season with vigor. Songs by a quartet, Clyde McIntyre, Cecil Carr, Claude Kirk- land and John Price, and a reading by Lucy Price made up the program, along with solos by Claude, accompanied on his guitar. After the fire had burned down somewhat, everyone gathered around to roast hot dogs and then washed them down with punch.
