V FCJREWORD 1 f W E 1 I Q. I V C, QQ t I , HIS Anniversary Annual is presented to show the growth and development, the comparisons and con- trasts, the differences and similarities, the beliefs and traditions, of Streator Township High School through the last quarter century. It was then--in 1919--that the first edition of the I-lardscrabble was published by the senior class. When this first annual promised to be a certainty, the Class of 1919 could not find for it a more suitable and suggestive name than f-lardscrabble, for the class, like the early settlers in this community, had hills to climb and fords to cross because of their inexperience and the high prices. But with the spirit and stamina of the dauntless pioneers, they overcame all obstacles and presented the first edition of the yearbook in June, 1919. It is now - -in 1943 - -that the twenty-fifth edition of the I-lardscrabble, the Anniversary Annual, is pub- lished by the senior class. There will never be a more appropriate time than this to glance back into Streator I-ligh's history and express a word of thanks to those former generations who have gradually cut down l-lardscrabble hill, thus making it easier and more pleasant for each succeeding staff to publish this annual. When a great change comes over a place, the people generally do something to make it a cherished mem- ory for the future. As a gesture toward that end, we present this Anniversary Annual in commemora- tion of life then and nom at Streator Township High School.
