Pupils, parents, faculty, and the Board of Education work with dedi- cated zeal to create a school community in which students, as they practice good citizenship, develop the academic competence, personal skills, and wholesome philosophy so necessary for effective future living. Excellent team-work over a long period of years has resulted in the present superior reputation enioyed by the school. lt has helped to establish the tradition that Lyons Township High School is a friendly school for friendly people. XL EQAW Adult guidance enables The adults of today who devote their lives to producing the leaders and thinkers of tomorrow are the backbone of our edu- cational system. We seldom think of the administrators of the system, whom we do not see every day, and yet they are the ones on whom our future citizens are depending. They must have the foresight to advance with the world, to change the pattern of education with the times. They give of themselves that to- morrow's world may be better than today's. Dorothy J.

Here the youth of today are prepared men- tally, physically, and socially, to become the leaders of tomorrow, to accept the heavy bur- den of future responsibility. Here too are the friendly places-the halls and rooms where one can make a lifelong friend, the school after school. Here the first responsibilities are accepted, the first real steps toward future careers taken. From here the leaders and thinkers of tomorrow come. 7 The 54.6 million structure has become a reality with the merging of the classes of 1960 and l96l to make the enrollment of South Campus 563 more than that of North Campus.

Vial Member Board of Education Mission Accomplished, Mr. Harnstrom When a yearbook staff loses its adviser, its heart is gone. Mr. Harnstrom was the heart of our staff. lt was he who kept us moving and encouraged us to set our goals high. It was he who worked to all hours with the staff. Whether searching for a theme, working late at night to make a deadline, or lust talking, we were constantly aware of the great knowledge and skill he possessed. When a fatal automobile accident on May l, l958, suddenly ended all of this, we were shocked into a realization of how much we had gained from knowing him, even in the eight short months he was at LT. Unlike some he did not bequeath to the world great monuments or portraits but instead left to each person who has known him something more valuable - a small measure of his knowledge and skill. In return for this legacy we can only silently give thanks that we were privileged to know this man and pray that the Tabulae has lived up to Mr. Harnstrom's expectations. If we teachers can prepare our students to meet the challenge of changes with courage and intelligence, we will have accomplished a mission. - Albert S. Harnstrom
