Spee eee «= Star of Achievement FH foe 71 see oe Js Guides Us Forward fal | When first we enter high school as eighth graders, we begin to ascend the steep path of knowledge; as freshmen we have passed the first milestone along the way. Sophomores find the path is rough and filled with obstructions, while juniors discover the journey is yet far from fin- ished. At the close of our senior year we walk for the last time through the halls of Huguenot, musing over difficulties which block the road of life ahead, using as our guide the star of achievement illuminating the path of the future. “Emerson said, ‘Hitch your wagon to a star. One can see in those six little words the summary of human achieve- ment, and an everlasting inspiration to the future races of men. From Socrates to Edison, every forward step taken by man- kind through revolving centuries, every advance by humanity towards the ulti- mate goal, has been led by some valiant dreamer whose eyes were fixed upon the dawn. Moses, with dying eyes, saw a star blazed in the Promised Land; the radi- ance of an eternal star led Three Wise Men to the manger in Bethlehem; Colum- bus pinned his faith in the dawn of a new day; Kepler, announcing the laws of the unchanging spheres; Newton, watching the apple fall, each looked beyond, and into the future.” —J.

AFS Students Serve as Huguenot was fortunate in 1963 to be host to not just one, but two foreign exchange students. First to arrive was Hans Poeschel from Moenschengladbach, Germany. Then on December 15, Josefita Blanco from Barranquilla, Colombia, South America, was enrolled. Until their year at Huguenot all school subjects for Hans een-age Ambassadors and Fita had been compulsory. At Huguenot, instead of the usual thirteen to fifteen subject schedule in their own coun- tries, both took five-subject courses. After completing their year here, Fita and Hans agreed that the time spent in the United States and the friends they made will always be remembered.
