'Vast spaces of the unfilled nobk sea Lying serene beneath the morning sun, Would that all nature of the world might be Like you forever, peaceful and at one.’ International peace, a dream! you say. Do all dreams end in dreaming? Long ago Someone dreamed of a stone gray school, someday To stand where only pink clover would grow. Then someone saw a mottled group, a crowd Of children —Slav, Hungarian, German, Pole, Climb cold gray steps — their scared eyes groundward bowed,-Today thirty-one seeks a common goal. For thirty-one had a glorious dream Of living her years in a book, a plan To add to the light of peace a faint gleam — We clasp hands — America and Japan! K. N. L.
THE class of 1931 has done well in selecting Japanese Literature as the theme of its Amptennian. Japan is called by its people, Nippon, which means the Land of the Rising Sun, for Asia views the rising sun by looking in the direction of Japan. The rising sun symbolizes awakening, life, growth, all hopefitting symbols for the contemplation of young people just entering upon the duties of life. The awakening of Japan, following the visit of our own Commodore Perry in 1853, is one of the miracles of the nineteenth century. So quickly did this nation of brave, courteous, little people absorb the best of western civilization that in a few decades it has placed itself among the greatest nations of the world. It is hoped that the years which the class of 1931 has spent in this High School have likewise awakened your intellects to the fullest possibilities, and that you have absorbed much of the world s science, art and literature, so that you may go forth well prepared to meet the responsibilities of life. Ever keep your face toward the rising sun, be loyal to the teachings of Northampton High School, and success and happiness will surely be yours. • Sincerely yours, G. A. Eichler
