A. from the University of Illinois. He lives in Momence with his wife, Judy, and they have six children. Mr. Bartholomew came to Momence in 1953. In the time that he has been here he has seen the number of faculty members more than double and the number of students increase from less than 1000 to 1900. An elementary addition and a new junior high were constructed, and a new building program is currently getting underway. Mr. Bartholomew thinks Momence is in a good location in a growing area. He would like to see more planning for future growth and greater progress toward solving the problem of youth recreation. After following the projected building program, he would like to see the current high school facilities upgraded and expanded and the curriculum offerings continue to be improved. To the graduating class Mr. Bartholomew says, You are living in one of the most interesting peri- ods in the history of the world, which likewise is a period with some of the greatest unsolved problems. You are leaving high school when the challenges were never greater. What happens in the future with these problems and progress toward solving them depends a lot on what you do.
