The Tiger Annual Grand Junction High School Grand Junction, Colorado Volume XLVIII I am being driven forward Into an unknown land. The pass grows steeper. The air colder and sharper. A wind from my unknown goal Stirs the strings of expectation. Still the question: Shall I ever get there? There where life resounds, A clear pure note In the silence. ” Dag Hammarskjold All prose and poetry selections by Dag Hammarslgold are reprinted by permission of Alfred A Knopf Inc from Markings by Dag Hammarsk|Old trans by Leif Stoberg W H Auden Copyright. 1964 by Alfred A Knopf, Inc and Faber Faber. Ltd 2 3 Into an unknown land. The air colder and sharper. A wind from my unknown goal There where life resounds A clear pure note In the silence. Foreword In our ever accelerating world, time waits for no one. Man must reach out to claim what is his — preserving and cradling earth 's beauty for those who will inherit God's world. Ever striving to gain a foothold in the vastness of the future, man must dedicate himself and his goals not to his own gain but to the gain of all mankind. He must stand tall among men, but yet be meek in the shadows of God's markings. 14 Dedication One man can help shape many lives; He can build a living monument for future generations to see. He can lay a foundation of hope; He can create a framework of education; He can clear a path toward a newer, more forceful world, In which all men can live as equals. To such a builder, Who through his markings Has left a guideline for the future, The 1967 Tiger Annual is dedicated. . . To Robert C. James, our principal. ; : Contents Flight in Learning . 16 Search for Enlightenment .... 37 16 Flight in Learning “Time's flight. Our flight in time—flight from time. Flying on strong wings—with time, Never lingering, never anticipating: A rest in the movement—our victory over movement. Lightly, lightly— Soaring above the dread of the waters. In the moment of dedication, All strength gathered, all life at stake, Plunging into the deep. But no rest on the waves, constrained by currents. Again over the waters, stillness over the swell, Borne by the wind when the strength of our own wings. Never land, never nesting place— Until the final plunge When the deep takes back its own. ” Dag Hammarskjold Faculty Curriculum Head District 51 Education Program Sing Out.

Junior journalists worked on school publications preparing themselves for key positions on the 1 967-68 staffs. In sports the juniors were represented in football, basketball, baseball, wrestling, and track An ability to accept responsibilities and a variety of talents gave the juniors an insight into school government Well-known traditions and standards took on new meaning as members learned leadership and prepared to shed the title of juniors to take on the duties of seniors.
