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.

:XT THE BIRTHDAY PARTY of the Calm Public llltldly NI lT1lNl1 Reed Phyllis Wltlllllll ton and Zada Laffler enjoy talking with Dr. Robert Fanei the sp4 lkcr of the CVCIIIII There is much history recorded in the fac- ades and interiors of many old buildings in Cairo. 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.
