l dic uiicinuun Min arm oemurs on me way nome ior a nara nigni s “battle with the books” reflects a scene from the life of a Senior building his life for the future. SENIORS Heaven is not reached in a single bound; But we build the ladder by which we rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies, And we mount to its summit round by round. J. G. Holland As members of the graduating class, we are aware that we have not attained the ultimate in life, hut rather that we have merely completed a round of the ladder and we are now groping upward for the next. Twelve years ago we raised a small hand to grasp timidly the first round, and, moving upward, our intellectual and social horizons broad- ened; our grasp on life became more solid. Frequently we faltered, the upper round all but obscured from our view, but somehow we always managed to move upward, always managed to continue. Looking backward now as seniors, the ladder seems steep, but then, as we glance up toward the inscrutable summit, we realize the great amount of hard work as well as the great degree of perseverence that will be required of us if we are to attain the pinnacle. As we move through life and as we mount the ladder round by round, let us remember that when we build, we build forever. 11
