60 Years Ago
January 1960
Dennis Guenther, an IHS junior, took first place in the national Junior Olympics annual track meet for the 100-yard dash. In June of last year the Olympic state tournament was held at Kansas University. Guenther took first there with a time of 10.2 seconds. No other Iolan, and few from Kansas, have ever achieved national honors in this meet.

Ernie Fults, owner of City Taxi Service, has his new ambulance on display at his office, 124 E. Jackson. The vehicle is fully equipped and ready for duty. Since the Mercy Ambulance closed Aug. 1, Iola has had no local service and has depended on firms in Moran, Humboldt or Colony for the transportation of the ill or injured. Fults will operate his ambulance in connection with his taxi business.
