Beacon Lights i High up in the sky on a dark night one may see a dim and eerie light across the boundless expanse. Boldly sweeping across the horizon, it clears a path of light for the oncoming plane. These lights (known as beacons) prevent many fatal accidents. The mail plane pilot can depend on these beacons to lead him to his destination, and just as assuredly do we know that our high school faculty will lead us to our final goal. Fulfilling the purpose of education, our teachers have led us out of the darkness into the Light of Understanding. They have held the light high, never lowering it, but, nevertheless, helping us over the darker spots. If we should waver from our course, we have faith that we shall eventually find the way with their help. All along the sky of Life there are beacons to guide us. The faculty is a very important beacon. Their light extends over a significant period of our lives. It is the fault of the pilot who loses sight of his light that he is dashed to earth,—not the light. May we keep the light before us and continue to be guided by this influence when life leads us away from our high school, and may we, like the pilot, never forgetting the source of his light, remember the trustworthy beacons of Massillon High School.
