Foreword The purpose of a year-book is to serve as a record of the life of the school. The theme of such a book is the motif that runs through it to unite the various divisions. In the sketches on the division pages may be glimpsed rural scenes characteristic of this locality, the winding country roads, inviting homes, richly-stocked barnyards, ripening cornfields, a fine rural life. This is forever a part of all our lives and to it we owe our community and school. Any record of our school life would be incomplete without it. We therefore choose it as the theme around which to build this Spartan. Once more we have come to the close of a happy, eventful and successful year. Before going on to another year, let us pause to review the past and recapture some of its color. Let us stop to recall some of the activities and sounds coming from the halls of our Alma Mater. Wandering through the buildings in the morning, we hear the chorus gaily singing, or perhaps there are strains of martial music coming from the Auditorium where the band is rehearsing. Then we see the students in classes . . . The mathematically-minded ones puzzling over the intricacies of an algebra problem . . . the literature classes struggling to learn lines from Shakespeare's plays . . . the shorthand students with one eye on their shorthand notes and one on the snake cage in the biology room . . . Mr. Standley's boys working industriously in the shop. We see the Home Economics classes working on Red Cross materials . . . the F.F.A. boys discussing the relative merits of different types of seeds . . . the typing classes racing through a ten-minute speed test. We hear the happy voices of the students as they leave their last classes for the day. We hear them singing in the Little Theater or having an exciting basketball game in the gym. Then, later, we wander through the halls which wait in silent expectation of another day or perhaps of a basketball game or wrestling meet in the evening. And as wc remember this happy, successful year, we think of those students who have been here before us, of the boys in the Armed Services. We wish for them all a speedy return to their homes and those they love. We look to the future and carry with us the ideals of Cresco High. We resolve to meet that future unflinchingly, and give the best that is in us to make the most of our lives and the opportunities that shall follow.
