What an OHumwa
Boy Thinks of
David Edstrom

In this day and age when boosters
for the home town are being devel-
oped all over the land and when every
locality feels the need Of loyal citi-
zenry, it is a pleasing thing to see the
youths in school become imbued with
local pride, to want to do something
to make the city better or more beau
tiful and attractive.
Ottumwa has one such lad in the
person of Anterior J. Manro, a pupil
