ans =e CLASS POEM Before us now there lies a way untried: And though of all its pitfalls unaware. Forth on the endless road of Life we fare, Protected by our Maker and our Guide. The way grows steep, and clothed in tattered pride, O'er rocks that block our way, through thorns that Lee We stumble weak and lame in blind despair ‘Mid snares and pitfalls scattered far and wide. Yet joy there is to sweeten every gall, And balm for every wound, peace for dread: A laugh will drown the echo of each moan. And though we fall, and rise, again to fall, We onward yet advance with surer tread And come to kneel at last before His throne. JEANNE GAVETT

DEDICATION We, the members of the 1936 Milestone Board, dedicate this annual to our esteemed principal, Dr. Galen Jones, as a token of our admiration and loyalty. This year completes Dr. Jones’ second year as principal of Plainfield High School, and already we can see large strides in the field of modern educa- tion as applied to our school. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to have had many contacts with Dr? Jones have realized that we have as our leader a man genial, sympathetic, understanding, and always willing to listen to our troubles with an impartial ear. Surely we have here a man worthy of the com- mendation of all good students.
