THE PROGRESS • • • OF SIXTY PILGRIMS Leaving tlieir Grade School friends, sixty Pilgrims started on the journey through tlie Land of Secondary Education to tlie Celestial City of Graduation from High Scliool. . Our Evangelist guide was .Mr. Snider, who advised us the w ay. Some Pliahles ac- companied us, but turned back when they came to the Slough of Despond. The rest of us, however, kept struggling on. Help, who carried us over difficulties, was ] Ir. Certain, our principal, who proved to be a Guiding Star. Oftimes would we have followed the counsels of Worldly Wise had it not been for our Evangelist, who kept us aright. Through the Wicket Gate of Freshman Ex- aminations we finally canu Good Will, as we know Ir. Estrieh, op- ened the gates to the Sophomore Palace. As we progressed, our teachers were our Inter- preters. Soon some members characterized liy Passion left us, not wishing to wait for their .jobs. The rest of us, being Patient, de- sired to wait for ours until we were more fitted. We worked our waj gradually through the Sophomore Palace, still under the guid- ance of our Evangelist, ilr. Snider. One by one, our teachers gave us the keys to the Celestial City. I Iany of us stumbled and fell on the hills of difficulty we encountered. Some of our members took other paths in different Halls of Education, separating from us. Some, Timorous and Mistrusts, found that the farther they went the worse the ob- stables became and so turned back, proceed- ing with us no more. We passed Lions and ilonsters every six weeks until we finally came to the Valley of the Shadow of Junior Examinations which we passed successfully. A few Faithfuls from other Halls of Edu- cation joined us as we journeyed on. As we struggled through the Land of Junior Ed- ucation we came to Vanity Fair. Now most of us came out unscathed, but some of us brought with us some vanities and carried them into Doubting Castle of Our Senior ear. We were not overcome by the Giant Des- pair because of the careful guidance of our neM- Evangelist, Miss Reed. We had a new Friend, ilr. Elliott, to help us when we lost our way on the JMountain of Error and had to retrace our steps. We have succeeded in passing River s of Difficulty and the Hill of Senior Examinations on our climb to the Celestial City of Graduation, the capital city of the Land of Secondary Education. We find ourselves at our destination to- ilay, forty-eight in numlier, a few less than the nundier with which we started. We ha e been given the Golden Keys of Life. Some of us may use our keys to open Col- lege Halls, others may use our keys to open the Doors of the Business World, and still others may ojien the Doors of Household Affairs. Today we stand, forty-eight strong, sound- ing our clarions at the Door of Future Life and Opportunity. — Esthei ' Gcttings. 1) o y o u remembei ' way back when ' e were in the fifth grade anil Miss Mj-ers Avas our teacher?

VALEDICTORY HORIZONS The twelve years we have spent in school have been a time of tremendous his- torical significance resulting in a period of criticism, unrest, and dissatisfaction out of which a new era is developing. History re- cords that the struggles of past ages have resulted in the birth of new ideas, the de- velopment of new materials, new methods, and the beginning of an upward step in the progress of humanity. During the period of greatest turmoil the Greeks developed the column and beam construction system which is still in use today. The Romans adopted the contribution of the Greeks, the arched vault and dome of the Etruscans, perfected construction, and introduced con- crete. The Gothic added new and insi iring form, and filled the spaces with great stained glass windows of the thirteenth cen- tury. Hundreds of years later, we are iiegin- ning the period of steel, which will probably rank with the contributions of other ages. Our magnificent buildings of steel today are crude preliminary models of the ulti- mate example that will be achieved in the near future. Are we ready for the changes that are coming? The model houses at the Century of Progress indicated that the houses of tomorrow will not much resemble the houses we live in today. The new materials and new processes of this age are undergoing rapid changes in order to make our daily life convenient, comfortable, and congenial. The airplanes, automobiles, trains, theatres, cities, and industry itself will probably un- dergo as rapid transformation as the horse- less buggy which developed into the present day motor car. As a result of the modern inventions and economic readjustments, man is con- tinually being given more leisure time. In the near future the day ' s work will be done in two or three hours; therefore, the work- ers will have time for recreation, travel, the arts, and the enjoyment of life generally. Leisure is not so much a time for freedom from tasks as for the development of all- round individuals. It is said that if one em- ploys leisure as a sponge soaks up water, satiety is soon reached. If, on the contrary, he faces it as a doer and a creator, we are a.ssured of an individual who carries his edu- cation into life. The future problems of this country can not be solved by returning to the golden age of the past. We, as members of the coming generation, must take a critical survey of what we have, keeping the benefits, reject- ing the dross, working out a i olicy for a directed development. We still need re- search in hygiene, disease prevention, de- centralization of industry, the elimination of monotony and drudgery of urban life, the discover} ' of an intelligent manner of dis- tributing the world ' s goods, and the dis- banding of nations as armed, sovereign pow- ers. A glimpse into the not-far distant fu- ture will show many of our present notions discarded. Most of the features of our ev- eryday life will take on new aspects for the greater economy, efficiency, comfort, and happiness of our lives. We are entering a world in which op- portunities for earning a livelihood are more scarce than in 1929, but we have an ad- vantage in that the schools have given us a deeper insight into the problems of the future. We may often fail in solving these prob- lems, because we limit our horizons to what our eyes see. We are more likely to be in- fluenced by the immediate consequences than to see the situation in the light of our whole lives. Too often we allow the obvious to ott ' set our imaginations. Terrific changes have come to pass in the last four years, which demand leadership in all fields of work. There are few limitations placed upon man other than those of his own mak- ing. It is up to the individual alone wheth- er he broadens his viewpoint or not. Our teachers, parents, and friends aid in the molding of our characters, but our horizons are of our own making. We might com- pare our vision to that of a person standing on the shore of the ocean and looking out to sea. His horizon is two and one half miles away. If he is leaning on a rail of the promenade deck of an ocean liner and is looking out to sea, his horizon is eight miles away. If he climbs to the crow ' s nest, his horizon has increased more than six times what it was when he stood on shore. Now is the time, for the world is changing, and the men on top when the smoke clears, will be those who changed it. Our success in life does not depend upon the amount of money we are able to make but upon our contributions for the better- ment of society. After all it is not what we do that is so important as what we are. — Margaret DeVinney. Page twenty
