The Gedar Rapids Community school board awarded a contract for student identification photographs to Evans Photography Co. North English, the highest of three bids.

The contract implies a reciprocal sale of photos to students in grades 11 through 9, with parents paying $5.35 for Evans packets versus $4.25 from National School Studio. Committee members cited favorable reports, past success, and proximity for Evans, though they saw little quality difference in samples. Ten local bidders competed.
