14 THE LAFAYETTE 72- Me Four years ago you and l began our careers in Lafayette High School as freshmen. Inexperienced in a new situation, we had much to learn. From repeated contacts and sharing of problems we profited greatly. Now, after four years of climbing, let us pause to look down on the way we have come. Sometimes the path was steep and filled with seemingly insurmountable obstacles, at other times few difficulties presented themselves. In the beginning we knew little of each other and encountered a maze of daily situations which required much time simply for adjust- ment. By developing the ability to carry on independently, we learned a new lesson of self-reliance so essential in the right use of our newly- found freedom and broader opportunities. The end of the first year brought us to a plateau of victory. A warm feeling of satisfaction pervaded our thoughts in the attainment of many seemingly remote objectives. We were becoming accustomed' to climbing and ready to scale new heights. Through discovery of ways, to help each other up the grade our spirit of cooperation deep- ene . More difficult tasks loomed in the next year, we realized that our mettle was receiving its first acid test and that we must really fight to win. Success carried us up the hill to the half-way house, where, over a summer, we paused to rest. What had previously seemed so un- attainable, now appeared infinitely less difficult. A closer and happier acquaintance, a class solidarity, and a com- mon bond with fellow climbers developed when we were luniors. A team, united as Lafayetters with the ropes of Loyalty, Honor and Service, was pulling upward. We pressed on with new vigor and courage. Seriousness of purpose has marked the present year. Determination to reach our high goal is increasingly evident. We, as friends, with sympathetic understanding, proceed to the fulfillment of all those bright hopes which have continually spurred us on our way. Thus we reach the top, only to discover that our climbing has been in the easier foothills and the mountains still challenge our ambitions. But we have acquired a strength, a confidence, and an ability to meet the approaching ascents, which nothing can daunt. Your way leads to the mountains, mine again to the foothills to share, if I may, in the successes and problems of a new generation of students. But spiritually l shall always be with you as you explore the trails that beckon. .Qnic-U of X938
