F OREWORD Commencement approaches, and with it comes the end of a well defined t1'ail. Youth is soon to blaze his own trail-to embark upon a new adventure. He is to enter a world new to him, a world lying beyond the far horizon. He is about to reach out and touch the future. At this point upon his path, he pauses, and, turning about, casts a linger- ing glance over the trail behind. It is a winding trail. Here it lies Warm and bright beneath the sung there it lies in the shadows. Upon this trail, youth en- countered his first serious problem of the future-the choice of a vocation. He has studied literature and language, business and science, dramatics, arts, and music. One or more of these fascinates him. After careful consideration, and advice from sympathetic teachers and other elders, he plans to prepare for his entry into one of these Helds, or into some other field, according to his abilities and interest. He has worked diligently toward this goal, which lies beyond that horizon. That trail just behind him represents more than efforts. It repre- sents recreation. pleasures, acquaintances, memories. Yet now he forgets the past, and in his day-dreams wanders into the future. This will be an industrial world, immeasurable power will be at his fingertips. This will be a world of achievement, science will facilitate transportation and communication, and architecture will give us colossal skyscrapers. This will be a world of greater leisure, literature, painting and music will be as valuable to us as our knowledge of practical things. May it be, as well, a world of morality and of peace. Youth, awaking from his reverie, sets out with ardent strides and keen anticipation toward the goal which will bring the realization of these visions. He faces a new horizon, as yet enshrouded in clouds, but clearing as the mists disperse. DEDICATION It is to this youth of toelay, who holclly faces the the future, hoping for his dreams to come true, to this youth, who approaches a hright horizon o greater accomplishments 5 to this youth, whose heritage is a greater America, that we of the Class of N ineteelz-Thirty-F our clezhcate, as a humhle trihute, this issue ofthe ccRetIa11flBlach.

GLENS FALLS HIGH Near the Adirondack foothills, Where roars the Hudson grandg Where battlefields lie buried ,Neath advancement's spreading hand There's a place we'll ever cherish, And exalt unto the sky, lVIay her honor never waver, Our dear old Glens Falls High! All our hopes and expectations, All We shall ever claim, Be our names still in the background, Or viewed in halls of fameg Our success and all our fortunes, We know not the reason why, But we feel wefll ever owe them To dear old Glens Falls High! iNIay the friendships ne'er be broken We've made while working here, Tho' the problems be forgotten Which to us are made so clearg And when we are old and weary, Looking backward with a sigh, We still shall love most dearly Our grand old Glens Falls High.
