January 9, 1947 In Appreciation: By now you are probably well aware that an ice skating pond has been constructed just east of the high school building. We should like to take this opportunity to say "Thank You" to Clyde Keagle, Walter Keagle, Fay Hand and others who made the pond available. Also thanks to Bob Baker for those nice warm fires. I believe there has been word of some students from other towns joining us and this may soon make Collins' ice pond a popular spot.
