CONWAY — When Kennett High School hosts its 100th-year celebration on the weekend of Sept 22-24, one of the highlights will be the unveiling of a time capsule buried in 1974.
The Eagles will get to see some treasures from six decades ago, and later that day a new time capsule will be buried — not to be open until 2073.
