Sparta High School - Bulldog Yearbook (Sparta, IL)

Page 7 text:

A school building is constructed of steel and cement, strong and permanent, but it is designed to accommodate an ever-changing flow of students. Year after year buses empty their loads each morning and people stream in waves into the hall- ways and classrooms. To the rhythm of bells, tides of people wash in and out of rooms and corridors. Carl Sandburg, in his poem Skyscraper,” says, “It is the men and women, boys and girls so poured in and out all day that give the building a soul of dreams and thoughts and memories.” As each individual forms a part of the mass, so each personality contributes to the many worlds of Sparta High School. Soon we, the Class of 1968, will be leaving this student body. With us we will take our individual dreams and thoughts and memories, many of which were molded in these halls and rooms. I would like to thank our sponsor, Mr. Simpson; the photographers, Mr. Richell and Mr. Dumstorff; and the Sparta News - Plaindealer, where we obtained many of the sports pictures for the annual. Without these people we could not present to you our 1968 Bulldog. We hope you will enjoy The Many Worlds of Sparta High School.” Melva Kloth Editor
