F 'lhe Atodnem recalls fall. winter. and spring of H158-59 in brief. We have tried to bring you an accurate account of the events that happened throughout the year. begin- ning with the first day of school amid the confusion of construction work still in prog- ress. .-Xs the year progressed. out new cafe- teria. gym. and many classrooms were com- pleted. enabling us to resume a more normal state of activity. free of annoyances. inter- ruptions. and confusion in finding our classes. Spring found the new addition and most other classrooms completed. and we are proud to say that we were the first to attend classes in the new building. Some of the highlights of the year in- cluded the presentation of the Leading llli- nois National Forensic League Chapter plaque. which was accepted by Mr. Price from Mr. Bruno Jacobs. executive secretary of NFL. We are especially proud of this plaque because of the fact that only twenty- four such plaques are awarded in the United States each year. and it represents many years of accomplishment in the speech de- partment. Another highlight was the re- cstablishment of the Mendota Chapter of the National Honor Society. which had been originally established in IQZ5. lhe newly tormed National Honor Society has its first installation of members.
