IN MEMORY OF MR. KRUSE Lester Kruse, Aurora's journalism teacher for twelve years, took an active interest in our students and our school. Mr. Kruse and his students have been a familiar part of Aurora High. Under his direction, the students produced excellent annuals and Hi Lites. At the prom and other social events, it was not unusual to see Mr. Kruse and his wife enjoying an evening with our students. [ 21 ]
