Masons present bike prizes

The program evaluated 27 Colfax second graders in four areas, including test scores, reading rate and class grades. Colfax’s Hiram Lodge donated a book to each student in addition to awarding the bike prizes. Presenting the bikes to deAvila and Hosford Tuesday, from the left, were lodge members John Henry, Bill Tempel and Jim Berdal.
