Grafton High School - Re Echo Yearbook (Grafton, WV)

Page 9 text:

Forward ever, backward never Within ourselves the future lies. Crossing over mountains, tunneling through hills, and fording rivers were some of the many barriers the builders had to overcome in the pioneering days of railroading in this region. But it was by overcoming these obstacles that they opened up new horizons for this region beyond the mountains and a vast empire in the Mid-West. Today, Grafton is the crossroads for northern West Virginia, and for this reason the graduating class has selected railroading as the theme for this issue of the Re-Echo. Life may be compared with a trip along a beaten, well-worn path. Approaching the crossroads we, as seniors, must choose the course we wish to follow for life. No matter which course we pursue we know we will encounter impediments and obstacles, just as the builders of the railroads did, but it is by surmounting these difficulties that we achieve success. The trip thus far has been at times up grade and at times level and still other times down grade. We have transported these high school experiences to you in this 1955 publication of the Re-Echo. n T n n TT ri n 5
