Torreyson came to our village from Austin, Chicago, during January when most of our present community was still in the cornfield stage: His per- vces and counsel was instantly sought, by his neighbors and at the first annual meeting of the Improvement Association he was elected Secretary. He served the community in this capacity for three years and was one of the members of the committee which represented the village in the writing of the important zoning ordinance laws for unincorporated, areas of Cook county. In the spring of 1941 Mr. Torreyson was nominated and elected to membership on the.Board of Education, for the Prospect Heights area and has served the community in this capacity since that date.

Shortly afterward he was prevailed upon to become teacher of the high school age class and leader of the Youth Fellowship Group. In spite of all thefse civic duties Mr. Torreyson finds time to putter around the house, run a fine, vegetable and fruit garden, and to devote many hours to astronomy.
