A PATH BESIDE A SCHOOL — Just a strip of land on the face of the earth is all it is. Made by the footprints of many people, it leads one from the street to the doors of school, doors through which we pass for four years. This path is only a streak of brown dust in the grass of summer and barely a line of packed snow through the white of winter, but over it travel the multitude, some seeking education, others, fun. In the summer the path veers to the right in order to avoid marring the lawn in front of school. In winter, when the snow covers the ground and this danger is past, it continues straight. This it does in accordance with the laws of nature, fol- lowing the line of least resistance as man has done for centuries. Many types of people travel this trail. In the dull gray of a winter’s morning, a boy rushes to bear the 8:30 bell. A happy crowd wends its way homeward at noon. In spring, a boy and girl leisurely head toward session room as they build castles in the sky. An underclassman pauses in a moment of indecision, undeter- mined whether to take the left or the right fork. Boys trudging home after a long football practice kick up dust as they pass. A girl carries an armful of books with the snow crunching underfoot. Yes, it’s just a small unimportant strip of earth, but on it is placed the mark of everyone who travels over it in Hastings High’s passing parade.
