The Lockport Township Public Library will always remain in the minds of most of Lockport's residents as the big white building on the corners of Eighth and State Streets. In qlune, 1966, Lockport opened a new library in its place, and this old landmark was demolished. One of Lockport's city cemeteries. Although Lockport is just a short distance from Chicago, it has developed a personality all its own. Our rapidly growing community has been enriched by many traditions that add to its spirit. There are the traditional Friday night football games, the basketball games, the summer band practices, the Homecoming parade, and so many other memorable events. If someone asks you where you are from, tell them with pride, Lockport, Illinois, home of the Music Man Marching Band, the Fighting Porters, member of the Elite Eight, the Lockport Locks, and the Texaco Refinery. Itis our town and we are mighty proud of it. Q 1 .Q ifwitr-Vila, V fi' ,mg .faxsaiswwfwzwra-It V 1'-1

, .swf The morning of August 27, 1965, saw the citizens of Lock- port surveying the damage created by the tornado of the previous night. As the people stood with tears in their eyes, they beheld the sight of the demolished structures of both the St. Dennis and First Methodist Churches. The question of, but why the churches? occupied their minds. The determination of the people to continue to worship their Creator was shown when the parishioners of St. Dennis began to hold their services in the Lockport Central audi- torium. Lockport has many churches of all faiths. No matter how new, how old, how ornate, or how simple each may be, they are all beautiful because of the people that worship within these spiritual walls. The altar of the First Congregational Church. The queen of light and her star girls during the annual Lucia Festival at the Evangelical Swedish Covenant Church.
