With a keen desire to please: a desire to convey to all who may be concerned a conception ol' what has been accoinplislwd during the school year of nineteen hun- dred lwenly-live and twenty-six, we have arranged the following pages. Some things have been accomplished which are imporlant and will have last- ing usefulness. ln addition to the results of student labor, there are those things which have been made possible by the ardent co-operation of the citizens ol' Thor11- ton Township. Due to the yearly increase in enrollment the conditions in the lligli School were becoming critical, and the need ot a larger building pressing. The in- terest ol' the citizens in their school was shown when on March 7, 1925, a bond issue of 5F3el5.000 for the purpose ot constructing a. new building was voted upon and passed. This new addition is practically completed and will be ready for use in the fall ol' 1926. Besides giving more room for general classes, there will be a swimming pool and a field house, both of which will be put to use at a. great advan- tage. The cafeteria will also be enlarged. This past year has been quite successful for the school. ln athletics a great deal has been accomplished. The football team won a number of the games they played, while in basket ball Thornton won the Kankakee District Tournament. This triumph was highly appreciated by a.ll. The two plays which were presented were very successful. A concert given by the music department comprised of the Boys' and Girls, Glee Clubs, the band and the orchestra, was enjoyed by all attending. A great many of the afore-mentioned enterprises would not be very successful were it not forthe co-operation QI' the business men in the township. The staff of this book, as well as the entire school, wishes to express deep gratitude and appre- ciation to the many contributors to the Thorntonite and year book. The service which they have rendered toward these two enterprises has made them possible, for without this co-operation they would not exist. There arc several things which the outgoing Seniors will greatly miss. Be- sides the, school and fellow students, there is that body to whom they owe great Page Three , i one .lil EHIE Pl Wil lug?
