ilte dyUffufUt li ne sjcUeJt This is the story of one of the most famous groups of explorers that ever set out to chmb the mount of education in the Angola Schools. CHAPTER I It was a tired but happy group which assembled at the base of High School Mount. A census of the population of the Eighth Grade community showed that 54 boys and girls had successfully explored Grade School Valley and were ready to attempt to scale Mount High School. CHAPTER II At the first landing, called Freshman Inn, on the long ascent of Mount High School there were 62 boys and girls in the party. It was here that they picked up Mr. Dygert as an adviser to the group. His aid proved valuable and under his guidance the group made steady progress toward the top. The ascent was carried on in a scientific and educational manner. The group was given periodical tests to determine their ability to continue the climb. It was here the individuals found they had to stand on their own two feet. CHAPTER III When our group arrived at the overnight place called Sophomore Lodge, there were 60 members in the party. The air became too thin for some of the group and they dropped out along the way, but the party was joined by members from other expedi- tions. It was here that our group lost Catherine Combs, Matthew Crooks, Fred Nelson, Ralph Northup, Margaret Owens, Roger Parsell, Carlton Rinehart, Kathr ' n Randol and gained Peggy Fletter, Joan Kundard, Douglas Cox, Dean Luke, DeWayne Richmond, Laurel Richmond, Don Sell and Carolyn Bush. CHAPTER IV When the group came to rest on a platform known as Junior Paradise, they could see the summit ahead. It was during this resting period they gave their Junior Play, held their Junior-Senior Banquet, and attended the May Dance. When the group was ready to journey on, they left behind Dick Barnes, Leonard Bloomfield, Joyce Cox, Edyth Gilbert, Mary Preston, Donnalee Stage, and Dean Luke. They took on additional mem- bers who were Loren Heckler, Red Loomis, Dale McClellan, Leonard Mitzman, and JoAnn Tribby. CHAPTER V The climbers were on the last lap of their four year climb now. They took with them new members Gearld Pearson, Margaret Owens, Bette Griffin, Kathryn Doudt, and Mr. Rose as adviser, and dropped a few of the veterans by the wayside. They were our sponsor, Mr. Dygert, Bud Jones, Loren Heckler, Patricia Lampman, Mary Lou Wolfe, Carolyn Bush, and Ronald Wells. The climb became more steep now and the Vage Twenty-two

Numerous times the group stopped and took mental survey of their position before they reached the summit. As a reward for the accomphshments of the brave group who had spent twelve years in educational exploration, the Angola High School held a public program and each member of the exploration received a high school diploma. As the group basked in the glory of their accomplishments they looked toward the future and new summits to attain. —BILLY WARREN, Jr. Page Tivciity-tlxree
