Nighbors gathered to help Marlin and Minnie RICKER of Diagonal with the harvesting this year. With four combines and many trucks the harvest was over quickly.

Three Mount Ayr Community students have recenlty received honors dealing with the All-State Music Festival to be held in Ames in November. At the selections held in Atlantic Saturday, Clara TERRELL was named to the all-state band playing the oboe. Landi McFARLAND was selected a first alternate on the tenor saxophone, meaning she has the possibility of participating if one of the players chosen ahead of her could not participate.

Also trying out for the all-state chorus were four vocal students -- Ashley INGRAM, Vanessa STORHOFF, Kelsey ALLEN and Drew INGRAM. They did not make the selection. Ashley INGRAM, however, has been selected to sing with the all-state OPUS choir of middle school students, which performs in Ames the same weekend.
