Jw Wi- lifflggfa i M ln 1842 you visited Cairo, Mr. Dick- ens-a struggling little settlement at the junction of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. Your comments were printed and quoted far and wide. They appeared in your famous novel, MARTIN CHUZ- ZLEWIT, in pamphlets, in your pub- lished NOTES, and now, in the 1959 EGYPTI. W. . . At the junction of the two rivers, on ground so flat and low and marshy, that at certain seasons of the year it is inundated to the house-tops, lies a breed- ,, S J ing place of fever, ague, and death . . . such is this dismal Cairof' 55' .Q S x Cf ' J Mr. Dickens me ,uracil Y S S YY Y YYY JV W g- i 'i SQ F53 K .

This dark and dismal swamp which you saw in 1842, Mr. Dickens, is now a prosperous and attractive community. Wide streets flanked by trees, red and purple flowered in spring, golden and amber in the fall . . . traffic lights chang- ing from yellow to green . . . modern federal building and schools . . . historic old library, churches, and court house . . . trim frame houses and Civil War mansions . . . barges and tugboats plying the rivers . . . all these make our Htale of two riversn pleasant and prosperous. THE GIRL TALK? of Kay Stone and Kay Nance fails to disturb Bob Bland. They are attracted to the Rcndleman gardens on their way home from school.

Magnolia Manor, a lovely Civil War mansion, maintained by the Cairo Historical Society, is open to the public throughout the year. The manor has had many famous visi- tors, among them President Theodore Roose- velt and General U. S. Grant, who made his headquarters in Cairo while planning the Battle of Belmont. The Cairo Public Library built in 1883, is another institution steeped in history. The oldest library in Southern Illi- nois, it contains over 30,000 books, many of them treasured volumes. In addition to these, the library has a valuable newspaper file, microfilmed, dating back to 1848. Among other landmarks is the First Bank and Trust Company, which celebrated its centennial in May, 1959. We believe it is satisfying to have deep roots. IN LAPS KND TOWNS flatholn cnior attend the annual communion service at St. Patrick's Church. Today we are a progressive little town 011 two rivers, looking forward to reaping the benefits of the St. Lawrence Seaway. To us teen-agers, however, progress means many things: the privilege of attending a modern, well-equipped high school, of respecting the religious beliefs of others, of receiving expert guidance toward our future careers, the satis- faction of working out a research paper, of staying late to get out the school newspaper, of teaching a Sunday School classg the thrill of solving that difficult trig problem, of dis- covering that the brain in the first row is a good Joe,'. . . the thrill of growing up. We have told you in words and in pictures, lVlr. Dickens, of our town and school. Come along with us now and hcar our teenage Tale of Two Rivers-the tale of Cairo High-a swell school.

Mescher as principal. Not only is he a dig- nified gentleman, but also a pal to the students. When he looks up from his desk and says, MlVlay I help you?'7 he means just that. Whether seek- ing a lost article, a change of schedule, or educational coun- seling, a student has to search no further than Mr. Mescheris office. WOI'killg as a team, Miss Harris, our principalis secre- tary, and her six office girls transact, with Hsmiling ef- ficiencyf' the business of the school day-collecting atten- dance slips, delivering class- room announcements, and learning the importance ol' teamwork.

In this age of conquering space, m11cl1 emphasis is placed on science and mathe- matics. About twenty per cent of the junior and senior classes this year took advanced math-Algebra II, solid geo- metry, and trigonometry. Also twenty per cent of the students elected chemistry. Taking the course makes the student eli- gible for the Chemistry Club. The labor- atory was almost always occupied by some busy chemist preparing an experi- ment, completely absorbed in his work. Annual awards are given to the senior students with the highest average in science and mathematics. 3.1594 ...... . . -N M4 .::::.f,...z:, ' ,- A 4 2...,Mw,Q-aw -L 1 s , 'Q , if W f 'jf iw 2 ,Aw C V Q w ,:5z::s5s X -e 2 Nfeif- 1 5' T.. gl 'mv MQ 7 Wm ,QM ,W X . - 0' gm w -if Ffa w f wt M 5 3 Q K 2' W Although CHS students are conscious of this Mage of spacev and all the satellites, mis- siles, and space ships that characterize it, they have not lost interest in some of the finer things in life-art, music, and good literature.

Cairo High,s campus was the scene of much hammering, taping, and painting as the many clubs and classes put the last touches on their floats. There were such laments as f'Where did you put the hammer?', uSome- body took my stapler! This work climaxed many weeks of preparation that had gone on in garages, basements, and even living rooms of C.H.S. students. Newly formed clubs and more active old ones raised the number of floats this year to a maximum.

The Band activities were somewhat limited in 1958 because of the absence ol' a marching hand. This year the emphasis was placed on the quality ol' playing and 11ot the quantity of the musicians. The chorus, Mcl1ord -ially singing, participated in many activities, in- cluding singing for the Notary. Our majorettes were tops, too. Under the leadership of Mar- garet Baghy, they perliormed some really snappy half'-time shows. ln April, Janice Be- vill won First Certified in the Southern Illi- nois Open Sectional Baton Contest, entitling her to enter the Class A Open National Baton Contest at Soldiers' Field in Chicago in August.

The Charleston Bluejays trouncu-d the Pilots 28-0 in our llomeeoming game. The seventh game was a mud hath at Car- uthersville. Playing in a sea of mud and a rain storm, the Pilots drove to a 6-0 win. This game was one of the best the Pilots played all season. Cairois stout defense stopped the Caruthersville backs Cold. However, the Cairo backs drove ahead. pushing through the heavy Tigfr line. The Cairo Pilots ended their season badly. Cairo dropped their last three games to formi- dable opponents-Jaekson, Poplar Bluff, and undefeated Murphysboro.

The bite of the flu-hug was felt i11 the Pilot ranks and also many of the other teams throughout the Big Eight Conference, causing many meets to he canceled. The Pilots ended their season after only two engagements-lVletropolis and Cape Girardeau. The Pilots dropped their meet to Metropo- lis, however only after offering stiff opposi- tion.

Every game had its certain thrill, from Wading water a foot deep on the football field to playing double overtime on the hardwood. Never-to-be-forgotten trips were made to out-of-town games.
