Through- out the high school course she has trod the path of hard work with her classmates. She has been a good student and is one of our best all- around girls. Whether Lanky teaches or does something else, the love and good wishes of her classmates will always be with her. SARA STONE fl new comer but a sure riser. Sara has been with us only a short while but has won both knowledge and hearts. She takes things just as they come for better or worse. Although much of her time is spent on her per- sonal appearance. still she is a good student. What the future has in store for her we cannot predict. but probably she will become a stenog- rapher of the highest type. ARTHUR WELLING He conquers who endures.

He urged us ever to lead on forward and higher to that next goal CI four years ahead: yet he warned us of the dangers which would come to us sooner or later. Q m We found the first section of our journey rather difficult. It became necessary for us to Q 21 ' sharpen the dull knives in order that we might cut even to the seeds of this new Latin apple 3 H which we carried as food. The outside part was very bitter with declensions and conjugations, -I but thehcenter was much better. The first hill which lay before us was steep and rough, but E E with the fellow scouts and guides we managed to get over. A few unfortunate ones stopped to Q gig lounge under the Tree of Laziness, or to sit on the stump of Non-Ambition. Beyond we saw bl three more mountains. In the valley below we pitched our camp for three months. M Q Now well marked by years of hardships, we crossed the sparkling stream of Don't Give E ,I Up and marched up the valley where we saw our boys win the district championship in basket- Q 5 ball. At this point the winding path of Knowledge led us through the briars of Quadratic Q I Equations. Again and again we were forced to drink of the spring 'of Perseverance to regain the 'Q 5 ambition which we were about to lose. Finally the sqmmit of the second hill was gained. a E Across the hill, we rested in camp for three months, refreshing our weary minds for the Q next lap of the journey. L S: This path was not 'as rough as the previous ones. The roughest place on this path was 6 the great stumbling block of Geometry, but with very hard digging and the directions of the ' R m guides this was removed. At the top of the hill we reached the Merry Singing branch which Q' helped to lighten the load. When we scouts had gone only half way we found the way almost a M paved. for the circumstances were much better on account of the equipment of the new school. Q 5 This was an incentivelfor us to work harder and keep up our struggle untilthe end. Finally a 3 the bottom of the third hill was reached and here we pitched camp again for a three months' W 1 rest. One of the guidestook the path of Matrimony during the rest and the scoutmaster had Q C I to search for another. in U 2 After the rest, the scouts and guides started on the last path of the journey, the '5Senior Q 5 Path. Since many of the scouts had decided not to tough it out another year, they went to E 6 summer school and to college. Others remained under the Tree of Laziness. This journey was 3 3 the easiest of the four-the roads were better and the journey was coming to an end. The great m 51 prize at the top of the hill was Diploma, which made every one of us march faster and with S S1 better spirits. At last we arrived at the goal. which would never have been reached had it not Q dl been for the carefully selected guides. For their advice and help we scouts will always bear the I5 r deepest appreciation. Y EE Cl g 2, 9 F6 53 ..
