The Final Illohmet Dedication It is with distinct pleasure the 1981 Illohmet yearbook dedicates its final volume to MHS English instructor Keith Kossow, who this fall begins his tenth year at Metropolis High School. During his teaching career, Mr. Kossow has taught Business English, Mass Communications, and all four levels of English. In addition, he has advised the yearbook and school newspaper since 1974-75. Mr. Kossow graduated from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale in 1972 and immediately joined the staff at MHS. During his tenure here he has also served as advisor for the WKYX Broadcasting Club and the MHS Key Club. The Illohmet commends Mr. Kossow for the high quality of instruction and years of dedication he has devoted to the student body at Metropolis High School. J 4

Memories Past Future Dreams The 1981-82 academic year will witness a multitude of new and exciting chapters in the life of Metropolis Unit District One. Paramount to these changes will be the moving from the old building of Metropolis High School at 1004 Catherine to the recently constructed site on North Avenue. In addition to the switch of campuses, the MHS Trojans complete the metamorphosis for the 1980's and future decades by becoming the Massac County Patriots. The following pages provide both a brief synopsis of roads traveled in addition to a preview for those that lie ahead. While history teaches that it is unwise to abandon those memories seeded in the past, the future, in terms of our educational facilities, represents a burning beacon for generations to come.
