lik. 4 CLYMAX P The Triumphal Procession A few short months ago we, the triumphant determined Freshmen, entered the northern portal of Clymer High School with our banner flying high. On it was placed an eagle representing the heights we wished to attain. We held in memory the trials and struggles through which we had passed during our vic- torious eight-year battle. With a sigh of relief we gazed admiringly upon the milestone which showed us that our desired destination was reached. Quickly, our capable generals led us eagerly on to the Sacred Way dis- playing our vivid colors of crimson and white, representative of our eager enthusiasm. Realizing, however, that we were not yet cultured enough to pass through the Triumphal Arch without some preparation we set out to attain these stand- ard qualifications. Therefore we penetrated the dense corridors of Algebra, ascended the winding staircase of Science, and wandered among the hazardous pillars of Latin. Before continuing our tiresome tour we rested in a scheduled emplinium. Resuming our journey we listened to a lecture on Civic Reform. ln the next building we visited various rooms having mural paintings of Lorna Doone as she appeared to john on St. Valentine's day. While Apollo ordered the Clymer High Orchestra to play appropriate strains of soothing melodies, we journeyed to the Arena where we planned to partake in the Olympic Games of the season. We were only able to participate in these games because of our well-developed bodies. Now only one more test, our fearful mid-term examinations, faced us be- fore we would be able to pass under the Triumphal Arch. Successfully com- pleting this test we modestly listened to theshouts of the spectators, Hurrah for the Freshmen of Thirty-Five! They have won the hardest battle which they have yet encountered and are now prepared to fight more difficult ones. They encouraged us on with bright red roses. Soon we reached a position from which we could see the Capitoline Hill. Then we realized the value of our motto, Success can never be gained by 'I can't' . Even though we had conquered so far we knew how much more knowledge was necessary to reach the goals of Pythagoras and Archimedu which we could now plainly see in front of other Algebra buildings. Julius Caesar also con- fronted us with great dignity and we recalled to our minds Shakespeare's well- known classic. With great joy we recognized Galileo as an old occupant of that building, Science. We regarded the statue of Romulus with much rever- ence remembering the great nation which he founded, the governmental prin- ciples which he established. Before the house of Civics we studied the mon- archial form of government represented by Tarquin. Coming nearer to the Capitoline Hill we cautiously guarded our ever in- creasing manuscripts of knowledge. Finally our long siege ended. With much awe we thought of the great honor which we soon would obtain. Its glory was overwhelming l At last we had attained the summits of Capitoline Hill. As an appropriate end to this procession we offered our knowledge as a final sacrifice to our teachers whose advice and skillful guidance has enabled us to win success thus far on our expedition. This success has afforded us new hope and encouragement to attack our future battles with more zeal and vigor which will arise in Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Land.
