Three years in the planning. Three days in the doing. A day's worth of cleaning up. And things are settling back to normal
in Diagonal. The Diagonal centennial celebration kept the community hopping for three days over the weekend with all
kinds of activities, and after a dayof cleanup Monday, some Diagonal folk were ready for a bit of a rest. Estimates of a
crowd reading 7,000 for the hour-and-a-half parade which had 600 units roll along the parade route was probably the peak
for the weekend. Lesa STEPHENS was crowned queen of the activities.
New high school principal at Mount Ayr community high school will be Carroll W. TAYLOR. TAYLOR is currently principal in
the Exira Community school district in Exira and would move to the Mount Ayr Community school district at a salary of
$37,000 and the usual benefits, according to the offer made to TAYLOR by the board after the interviews.
