Four students from Marion are enrolled at the University of Wichita for the fall semester. They are George Shields, son of Mrs. Eleanor Klein; Donald Kirchner, son of A.L. Kirchner; Loyette Hollar, daughter of Frank L. Hollar, and Donna Christensen, daughter of Chris Christensen.

Summer suddenly ended when people woke Friday morning to find a blanket of snow over everything. The temperature dropped to 25 degrees and there was about a quarter of an inch of moisture.
