Grade averages were so close that two valedictorians and two salutatorians were selected this year from the graduating
class of the Mount Ayr Community high school. The valedictorians are two young men, Gary McDOWELL and Jim DENHART. The
salutatorians are Ruth PETERSEN and Nancy NICHOLS.
Of unusual interest is the fact that three Mount Ayr boys, who started
and completed 13 years of education in the local school together, received degrees from the same college on May 25. They
are Ronald E. CROSS, Philip L. STONE and Richard E. STUCK, who were awarded bachelor of science in education degrees
from the Northwest Missouri State College in Maryville, MO. They are the sons of Mr. and Ms. Ames CROSS, Mrs. Lee STONE
and Mr. and Mrs. Walter STUCK, all of this city, and graduates of the Mount Ayr high school with the class of 1958.
CROSS has accepted employment as an accountant with Arthur ANDERSON in Kansas City, MO; STONE will teach history and
government this fall in the Ogden schools, and STUCK will be a mathematics instructor in the Council Bluffs schools.
Joe BOWEN, who graduated this spring from the Mount Ayr Community high school, received the Iowa Bar Association's
American Citizenship Award. The presentation was made by Grant L. HAYES, Mount Ayr attorney.

Dan HOSFIELD of Ellston - will accompany the county 4-H delegates to the conference on June 12.
