TI-IE ARROW Class Poem I stood one day upon a barren rise of ground Looking towards the scarred hills and the steaming town. Looking towards the tossing trees and quiet sky And watching the grass bend down and the wind die, When all at once a man approached and said, Could you tell me, please, what is there just ahead? . Ahead? I said, Why nothing but the brook And farther on the clamor of the town which I forsook. You'11 find it nicer going, though, If you would take the dirt road to the right, Then cut across the fields and climb the runway to its height. And if you reach the top in time I envy you the sight Of sunshine pouring from the clouds in bars of panelled light. And then it was I turned to see his eyes transfixed upon the wood. Slowly he said and thoughtfully, You too misunderstood. B. ROBERTSON, '36 Farewell To Ridgewood . Our days of high school are about over and we look back at them as days we shall never see again. The good times we have had in the past three years have been firmly rooted in our memories. Little did we realize what high school meant to us until we passed through its portals. To some of us it has been just a higher step in the progress of education, to others the sole preparation, for the world ahead. Nevertheless it has been a very vital and important step in our lives. In looking back not one of us would have been willing to change schools with anyone. Ridgewood High to us isn't just an ordinary high school. The very sight of its beautiful campus gives it a college atmosphere. In this school we formed many friendships, some of which will last forever. The faculty was not as severe as we had anticipated the first day. In fact most of us rather enjoyed being with the teachers and found them to be very friendly. So to Ridgewood I-Iigh we bid farewell with a tender feeling somewhere within us. We deeply regret our leaving so much that many of us would gladly relive our past three years. I'm sure we all feel that we have accomplished a great deal and that we hope the future classes will benefit by our school as much as we have. WALTER RAFFETTO IU
