Varna's New School Building Corner Stone Laying

A large Varna crowd witnessed the corner stone ceremony for the new Varna school building on September 22. The event featured a procession led by the Washburn Cornet band, speeches by Prof. J. M. Pace and County Supt. Perry, a reading of Varna school history, and a baseball game between Magnolia and Varna. The copper box in the stone held local papers, calendars, coinage, and community mementos. The piece also recounts Varna’s early school history from 1871, lists former teachers and graduates, and notes local obituaries and ongoing civic notices.
