HARDSCRABBLE Hardffrabble Spzrit We, the Hardscrabble Staff of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty Four, in presenting this record of the school's activities for one year, have attempted to reflect the spirit of the times and show our loyal support and co-operation with the various departments of the school. We have endeavored to carry on the work of those who have gone before us, and to keep up and raise the standards of our Alma Mater. Perhaps we do not realize the confidence which has been placed in us and the inexpressible honor which has been bestowed upon us, but nevertheless we have tried to carry out to the best of our ability the wishes of our fellow students. We as a class believe, and I am quite sure you will all agree, that everyone from Mr. Waldrip to the newest Freshman deserves a great deal of credit for the work that they have accomplished under the distressing circumstances this year. The building was begun last summer, and when we returned to school in the fall, there was little to be seen, with the exception of piles of bricks, lumber and sand. But as each day goes by, some little progress is made and we feel confident that some day Streator can proudly say, We have a 'new High School. If in our efforts to give accounts' bf. the activities of our High School some have received too prominent a place, while others have been neglected, remember, gentle reader, that there is no intentional negligence on our part, for we have tried to be fair to all, but our space being as limited asiit was, we hope to meet with your-approval. And now, dear Seniors, in years to come, after time has made us men and women, and we are scattered here and there-when memories of days spent in High School are gone, we hope that these few humble pages will once more bring into your minds the pleasant memories of youth-those memories which only school days can produce. We shall then feel that our endeavors have not been in vain. i A ADALYN TIFFANY, Asst. Editor. 9 Page Fourteen 4

We all have our ups and downs with the Faculty, and have decided' many times that Miss So-and-So grades too low, and Mr. Z does not give a fair deal, but after all, they are our best friends, and we, the Class of '24, leave S. H. S. with the best of feeling for each and every one. We have written these few lines to try to show our appreciation to the Faculty who has so cheerfully aided us through our four years of High School life. '2 4 Page Thirteen
