FOREWORD .... To every man there openeth A way and ways and a way And the high soul climbs the high way And the low soul gropes the low, And in between on misty flats, The rest drift to and fro. And every man clecideth The way his soul shall go. JOHN OXENHAM It has been our desire in selecting Highways and Byways as the theme for this, the 1932 Maple Leaves, to portray that part of the path of life through which we pass in Fairmont Senior High School.

The Murmur of the Maple Leaves I stood beneath the .Maple trees Ah, many things they said to me lust in the rustling of the leaves The murmur of the Maple trees. They spoke of things of future time I could not picture in my mind Though said to me by rustling leaves The murmur of the Maple trees. They spoke of paths leading the way Where boys and girls coming each day Would finally reach the road to knowledge And on from there, the path to college. They spoke of a campus, trees, shrubs Of birds and flowers and wondrous things 1 could not believe though said through leaves The murmur of the Maple trees. And now that many years have passed I see at last these things are true Though said to me by rustling leaves The murmur of the Maple trees. -SARA MAPEL
