lllli 2ll'!-291131 l'Zlllll0ll foreword three hundred years . . . Of youth seeking and age answering, and youth seeking still, Of roads taken and not taken, of dreams and fulfillments, of stars and telescopes, Three hundred years of America growing and America reaching for what she wanted, burning her fingers and not crying, America saying to her children: I give you knowledge for your thirst, for knowledge begets more thirst, and may you be always thirsty. Strange, that high school education can be three hundred years old and still so young, so changing, But things are what they are made of, and what are high schools but boys and girls, belligerently young, impetuously changing? In 1635, the Pilgrim boys learned new lessons eagerly and rebelliously, for youth is always eager and rebellious. And years passed swiftly, fiery years of revolution, growth and assertion, hard lessons and proud success, Farms and cities growing, youth growing, high schools struggling up after the growth, And now, 1935 . . . now is the fulfillment of hopes half-formed, dreamers of long ago, Here youth learns the hardest of all lessons, learns to know himself, Finds the reachings of his fingers and the facets of his mind. Today, unafraid, eager and restless, searching a new road, rejecting the old, youth still keeps wondering, still asks questions, delves in darkness and finds the light. 3
