Central School Bell Rings Again at Sloane Wallace Junior High
The old Central school bell, silent five years, rings again for Waterloo youth at Sloane Wallace Junior High. Janitor J. J. Clements pulls the rope for the first time since the bell’s relocation from the remodeled Central school. The bell tolls at 8:00 a.m., 8:25 a.m., 1:45 p.m., and 12:55 p.m. marking a return to routine as former students recall school days. Also noted is a lodge members party in Plainfield, and a birth announced for Orren Miller’s family.
