Iliis Way But Once High school, as with life, is a path we tread but once As life is to the eternities, so our schooling is to life—a period of training and preparation Time is a funny creature with legs like a gazelle that propel it swiftly along, but with the will of a mule, not allowing a single second to be recalled. Distance, unlike time, is optional. The direction we travel is up to us. If at a time we are on a wayward course, we can retrace our steps and change our ways to the better. High school is a long range goal in itself. It's purpose is to help us become productive members of society, but it too easily becomes an end rather than a means of advancement Some get through, but exert a minimum of effort, while others realize that they pass this way but once and fill their schooling experience with extra activities and goals to make a good thing even better. No one learns to know the meaning of work, co- operation. success, and failure like an athlete. Scheduled contests come but once. Either he is ready or he is not. He learns to meet problems head on. Large problems require a group effort. As we pass through life, we see things we would like to improve Through clubs and organizations this is done, and often fun is had in doing so. It has been said that “after all is said and done, there is usually more said than done.' This is not true of the student who strives to become a constructive member of society. He realizes that each minute pre- sents an experience which can never be recalled; thus, he makes the most of each passing moment of high school, and in doing so, gains more than just a diploma or a high school education. From where I look, we must know where we are going and why. The quest of truth appears to be an eternal venture and ad- venture. and part of that eternity is the time we spend passing this way but once. —J. Stanley Harrison 4

if the passing of time was of no regard and demanded of us no respect; if life's battles were always victories, we would find life to be a maze of mediocrity for it is through our mistakes that others profit and by the bridges we build that others may cross; thus, life is an endless purpose; a passing river. . .
