JUNIOR CLASS

Page 54 text:

THE JUNIORS’ UTOPIA We Juniors, having passed the crucial stage of our Freshman year, scrambled to a safe and more strategic position as Sophomores, and have now reached the lofty heights of the Junior plateau. Yet there is still a great distance to that Utopian summit on which, after attainment, we may bask in the glorious privileges of our full-fledged Seniorship. You know, if we really look closely enough at that golden pinnacle, we can discern the Seniors, going about their individual tasks, and, now and then, we see several figures more brilliantly clothed than the others. These personages, we surmise, are some of the outstanding citizens of that perfect republic. Reflect for a few moments: if we, the present Junior class, pull together in amicable cooperation, it will be a relatively short time before we stand togther on that airy peak and shoulder the duties of the noble Seniors. It ought to be worth the effort. But just what will it mean to each of us Juniors to know and to feel that he is qualified to join that exclusive band? Will it not mean the realization of all our hopes and ambitions? Shall we not have become the highest citizens of that coveted community, ready to participate in its functions? We may traverse the streets of A. H. S., our Capitol Square, with our shoulders erect, our heads held high, with never a fear that our armor of quiet dignity will be shattered. But this is enough of day dreaming when there is work to be done! So, with one long, lingering glance at the glittering object of our dreams, let us turn our attention to the Junior Curriculum. By completing this successfully the world is ours and we take possession of that far-off Utopia. Then upward ho! Thurman Baker, ’33.
