Stairways,,, the theme of this yearls Syllabus, is very symbolic. Our progress through life is a succession of events, or astairwaysv, determined largely by the goals that we estab- lish for ourselves. Some people start the arduous climb to the top of their 'Kstairwaysf but lack the courage and stamina to carry through. Then there are those envied people who set their goals at the top, who strive with perseverance and dih- gence to achieve this lofty position, and, in achieving it, reap the exhilarating reward of success at its fullest. We hope that we have been a constant and faithful guide in helping you climb each of the high school steps , and we take great satisfaction in seeing you reach the top step of your high school astairwaysv on your way to future goals. ROBERT B. REDMAN Mr. Redman discusses some school material with his secretary, Miss Mas- siah 9

UONYVABD AND UPXVARU, I remember these words so well. This was the motto of my high school graduating class. I am told that the theme of your yearbook also features aupwardv in its vocabulary. On that memorable Iune evening in 1917, this motto was stretched across the proscenium arch where all could read it with ease. Little did we then realize how much of the world's happiness was wrapped up in that type of thinking. VVe hardly knew that in the tests of after years, those who threw themselves wholeheartedly into worthwhile undertakings would reap the lionis share of joys and satisfactions. It has often been said that 'fAll the world loves a winnerf, It should also be stated that the winner loves the world be- cause of the many opportunities which the world offers him. HENRY E. KENTOPP Dr, Kentopp and his secretary M rs. M usterer.
