COMMUNITY The Tolleston community has progressed greatly in the last few years. Although many of the old buildings are still in use, new ones are being added steadily, The Tolleston Centennial was a gala affair held for one week in July. During this week there was much excitement with parades, street dances, fire- works, pageants presented every night, and picnics. All of the women hod to belong to the "Sisters of the Swish" and the men to the "Brothers of the Brush” or else they were penalized in the "kan- garoo court" held several times a week. That a wonderful week to remember! Three churches which a majority of Tolleston students attend are Sacred Heart Church, St. John’s Lutheran Church, and Westminster Presbyterian Church. Other churches in our community attended by our students are Tolleston Christian Church, and Calvary Lutheran Church. The Pudd Plant which was constructed just a few years ago produces automobile parts. Although the Dari-Maid is patronized by a large percentage of high school students, other members of the community find it an enjoyable eating place. "Tah, Rah, Rah, Boom, Te-ay!"
