Retiring school superintendent Carl Knox and wife Dorothy were guests at a retirement reception at the Holidome. Lawrence High’s indoor swimming pool was dedicated in Knox’s name, to honor his 22 years of service. Dan Neuenswander of Bartlesville, Okla., had been hired as Knox’s replacement.

The newly formed Lawrence Preservation Alliance made an offer to a local developer to buy a house at 947 La. with hopes of saving it from demolition. There did not appear to be any ready funds for the project, due to cost up to $30,000.
