l page ten J. D. Boydston Supervising Principal R Beyond the Range Once upon a time a child awoke to realize that he was living among a primitive people. His home was in a bowl-shaped valley of several thousand acres in which his ancestors had lived for many generations. All seemed satisfied with their log cabins, their horse-and-buggy means of travel, and the elemental things of existence. A mountain range formed the rim of this bowl and cut off the view of anything beyond. As he played about the cabin door and looked toward the mountain, he wondered what might lie beyond the range. As he grew older he heard strange tales of lands and people, not of his kind, as his family and friends sat around the log fire in the long winter evenings. He made a secret resolve to find out for himself some day what might lie beyond the encircling hills. One spring day he took his faithful collie and climbed slowly to the top of the mountain. Before him lay a panorama of happy homes, of peaceful villages, and far off the dim outlines of a bustling city. Then and there he resolved that he too would some day enjoy this larger life beyond the range. To accomplish this he spent much time in school, and as the neigh- bors said, Wasted many hours poring over books, when he might have been doing useful work hoeing in the fields. One day he set out for the unknown land beyond the range, this land of opportunity and usefulness, to enter there a more abundant life. We, too, may realize that we are hemmed in by lack of opportunity, by tradition, by superstition, by poverty, or most of all by self- satisfaction. Thrice blessed are we, if we can interpret the dim un- rest that comes upon us, and determine to achieve the nameless longing for something better than we have known. Let me say as a closing word to the class of 1937, there is no range of circumstance too difficult for us to climb, if we so will to do it. Very truly yours, May 27, 1937.
