    1962 -- 50 years ago: Mrs. Isado I.

Featured will be dramatic highlights from Broadway plays. The mother-daughter duo have had extensive experience in such presentations and have given programs for varied audiences.

    1987 -- 25 years ago: Thirty-one Moline High School student bakers showed up for class Thursday with flour, pie-filling and measuring cups in hand as hopeful entrants in the school's Tenth Annual Pie Baking Contest. The student bakers, mostly from foods and nutrition and independent living classes, sweated over a hot baking oven on an unusually humid morning. The heat didn't dampen the bakers' eagerness to win the blue ribbon for best pie, but it did put a dent in more than one meringue. Eleven boys and 20 girls

    entered this year's contest.
