THE 1970 ILLOHMET VOLUME 41 Metropolis Community High School Metropolis, Illinois Foreword The faces of Metropolis Community High School are many and varied, but they reflect you, the student body. Yesterday a happy face, today a sad one, tomorrow a teariul but eager face meets the world with anticipation. This yearbook has attempted to portray in pictures and words - your lives as you have lived them during this school year. If you as a student, when looking at the 1970 Illohmet, can place yourself in a scene or can enjoy an accomplishment, the yearbook has then succeeded. We hope that you feel that the forty-first Illohmet has succeeded in portraying the 1969-70 school year in a very meaningful way for you. 1970 Ulohmet Dedicated The yearbook staff takes pride in dedicating the 1970 Illohmet to a member of the faculty whom we all know and admire, Mr. Kenneth Halstenberg. His persistent effort and modesty have gone too long without praise. Mr. Halstenberg, as you know, is an excellent Biology teacher. He has faithfully been the sponsor of the Student Council for many years, and also works in attendance. Fairness and motivation are the two chief products in the atmosphere of his teaching. To sum it up, Mr. Halstenberg is a gentleman. Mr. Halstenberg accepts with disbelief the honor of being the dedicatee of the yearbook. 4 Not only is Mr. Halstenberg a noted teacher but he also devotes much of his time in the work of the attendance office. to Kenneth Halstenberg Mr. Halstenberg takes a relaxed position to explain a difficult facet of Biology.
