' fgciuillle-say The road which underclassrnen must travel through high school is a difficult one, wind- ing around and ever onward---ever upward. The steep ascent to the Height of Success is marked by three prominent signs, each of which clearly states its present position, and points insistently ahead. The first stands at the very foot of the hill, announcing HFRESHMAN CLASS . This does not indicate, however, that the freshmen are lowest in esteemg indeed, many times they are the envy of the graduating seniors! The term green can apply to these industrious, eager, alert boys and girls only in the sense that the color symbolizes hope---hope in the immediate future. The marker merely makes known the fact that this is the starting point ofthe students' expedition, Its arrow directs them along the rocky route to the next station ---HSOPHOMORE CLASS . In this location on the road of high school life, it is often said that students contract a strange malady called sophomorities g if this is true, then the effects of the disease are not lasting, for nowhere else willyou find such an energetic manner and such whole-hearted cooperation as exists among the sophomores. The ascent may not be easyg many pitfalls may confront themg but these students work their way laboriously and carefully to the third stop along the route--- JUNIOR CLASS . New duties, problems, and responsibilities await them there. After taking a deep breath and summoning every possible ounce of courage and ambition, they plungeinto their work, hardly daring to believe that the last lap of their journey is before them. A few more steps---around the last bend in the road---then---they spy their ultimate goal---the top of the hill, Two ioyous seniors---graduates now---stand at the top. Soon they will begin their descent to the bottom of the hill on the other side, to set out from the safe harbor there---to begin their journey upon the Sea of Life, sailing with the tide of God's Provi- dence, As they leave, the students step nearer, a bit awed, then quicken their pace. The full force of the realization strikes them: This is the goal they have eagerly sought through the years---this is the prize they have won---this, the graduation cap, is their crown of high school glory---thev have scaled the height! 46
