Sponsor Miss Steele ...... Sponsor T the beginning of the year, we stood on the top of the hill, and before us, like a great unexplored panorama. was high school life. .Xll during the grades we had been climbing the hill, anxious to see what was over the top. During the first semester Roy Horton conducted us on our tour. To our left. in what seemed to bc the largest of valleys, we discovered un- familiar studies such as Latin. algebra. and science. Vvhile we were wan- dering' through the valley of studies. our attention had been drawn to a smaller but sunnier valley to our right. We found that it contained social events which had nothing to do with studying. It was here the all school party took place in September. The sophomores entertained us here in October. In return for their kindness we furnished them an evening' of pleasure. During the second semester Margaret XYheeler led us in our discoveries. Under her guidance places were investigated more fully. We have three more years in which to complete our tour, and we all hope we shall enjoy our future explorations as much as we have the past. 20
