SENIORS CONFRONT NEW HORIZONS Standing - Mr. Lamont, Mr. Lundegren, Mr Wood, Mr. Morse. Sitting - M i s s Krouse, Miss Gould, Miss Hare. For three years the Class of 1940 has worked and played at the process of education and now graduation opens before the group a new and untried gate. Gallant spirits integrated with hopes and dreams seek to comprehend the new freedom that is theirs. Twelve hundred pairs of eager eyes discern that the road is broad, the horizon unlimitedg twelve hundred pairs of restless feet set out on the journey into the futureg twelve hundred pairs of groping hands reach toward the full moon of success. Upon looking back, these three years should mean something to each individual Senior. If they were spent only to secure compulsory credits toward graduation, they are wasted. On the other hand, if they were used as an opportunity to gain tools of knowledge, ideals, and inspirations to build upon the great heritage given by the past, they will become the basic foundation for future achievements. That twelve hundred Seniors could spend three years in an educational institution without contributing something to its improvement is impossible to conceive. Yet to determine the worth of these accomplishments, they must Hrst be tested by time and weighed in the balance of coming years. The value of the courses adopted in recent years depends entirely upon their adaptability in life by the students who pursued them in high school. Then, too, 194-0 marks the close of a progressive experiment of which Altoona has been a part -pioneering that may change the entire system of secondary education. Therefore a challenge is put before the Senior Class that is best expressed by William Somerville: Hail, blooming Youth! May all your virtues with your years improve, Till in consummate worth you shine the pride Of these our days, and succeeding times A bright example.
