Blackhawk County Students to State University Alumni Events
Blackhawk county sends fifty seven students to the state university at Iowa City this year with Waterloo contributing a portion. A county club forms with P. W. Smith as president and J. W. Rawlins secretary as plans grow to include alumni nationwide. A mass meeting and county assemblies precede holiday reunions statewide, with a university dinner in the armory featuring stereoptican views and a democratic tone, while readers learn the list of Blackhawk students attending. The pay car arrival brings joyous crowds and delays two hours due to an attached joy wagon, as promoter and staff receive checks from the station.
