The 0 faci e CLASS OF ’29 ell, here we are! We look down over our rocky mountainous path and far below see tiny moving specks struggling to follow our footsteps to success. We notice some are lagging. Others are coming along and doing nobly. Many have weakened and fallen by the wayside in their efforts to attain the goal high above on the Peaks of Success. This reminds us of our own past struggles. When we began our journey as freshmen we encountered many distracting obstacles. In that first year we were forced to cling to each small crack and crevice, or fall from the steep cliff of Learning to the death of our education below. The second year of our struggle was marked by a great disaster. The boulders of Laziness and Discontent fell upon several of our members and crushed their feeble attempts to surmount the terrific obstacles strewn on their way. However, a few of us have survived the fray with time and hard work and are now coming to smoother paths on next to the last ledge below the summit. e hope to reach that peak in one more year of toil, led on by bubbling Ambition. Yea. Juniors-—Let’s Go! —Frank Rush. THE JUNIOR CLASS POEM With two successful seasons gone, We begin our Junior year, To work and win our way to fame. In the dear old high school here.

I’lie question now we’d like to ask Is truly hard to guess: “( an you tell us what the Juniors are If they are not a success?” —Robert Carr. Thirty-Two
