we 7!6nwarcl anJ Unwarvl ja! The morning breaks sweet and clear, and the sun shines brightly upon the beginning of the trail. We and the day are young. The climb is easy and the ascent so gentle that we are not aware of effort, but rather of pleasant exhilaration and joyous companionship. Very gradually che trail becomes more laboredg more of our breath is spent in climbing and less in laughing and singing, yet the way is quite smooth, still fun. Then the trail narrows, growing rougher and steeper, sharp rocks hinder our progress, packs grow heavy. Unexpected storm clouds blot out the sun, and a heavy blackness settles over the trail. Suddenly the peak that had looked so in- vitingly near seems very far away and is lost in the darkness. The temp- tation to turn back is very strong upon us, but we cling to our determi- nation and struggle on. At last the clouds slowly lift, the summit nears, and finally the trail brings us to the hard won peak. A glorious panorama bathed in sunlight stretches out before us. Looking back at the difficult trail, we are filled with a sense of accomplishment. We have succeeded. So it is with life. The trail is as steep, as arduousg the difficulties and trials are as greatg the goal is as high. The way will be darkened at times with trouble, and we shall long to turn back. Companions and friends will loose the path and wander into other, devious ways. Yet as we near the finish, joy will replace sorrowg success, failure. Peace will come and drive out fear. Great will be the sense of exhilaration and accomplishment for those of us who reach the goal at the end of the long, Upward and Onward Trail. ELEANOR DEGUisE, '48
