-JT E KANSAS CITY Rich and Repentant HAITI, MAGIC ISLE we .aa-,,i,:4,,f3 g'zm,,, During this school year these two famous national magazines gave mention to some of the problems of the Missouri and Nishnabotna rivers and their flood dangers. The Hamburg community has passed through these trials and has emerged stronger and more determined to conquer these problems each time the floods came. The United States government is spending millions of dollars in dikes and flood control to preserve the rich fertile land in the valleys around the Hamburg and adjacent communities. It is believed that the job has been done and the prosperous community in which our school is located can look forward to many happy days of Holiday and Fortune. Our Town The boosters and merchants of our town have made this book possible by their gen- erous donations of time and money. The school and staff are grateful for their excellent support. Many times the city, state and national publications have given space to problems of the towns along the rivers. Fortune and Holi- day had feature articles on the rivers in August, l949, and March, 1950. Some local people were interviewed. Both magazines caught the spirit of the courage of our town and other towns so situated. A fine tribute is paid to the great towns and cities along the rivers. We are glad we live in a community that has such outstanding traditions and history. FORTUNE August, 1949 Missouri Valley Frontier Again
