Thinking it was easy, we began our search. Many felt that the key to Knowledge would be found in our required subjects; others thought in the electiveseso Alice, Ina, and Donovan chose Latin, while Ralph and Sam tried Printing. Some felt that we should search for the key of Health in service clubs and assembly programs. From Christmas on, every one started to work desperately, for we had had no success. The first of April Hjordis saw the key of Health glistening 0n the bottom of the swimming pool. She splashed in, and then carried a huge bump on her head for a week. So it went. Time grew shorter; success seemed uncertain. June came. Enthusiasm was high. After we had turned in our books, Miss Clark asked for the keys from all those who had been successful in the quest. Every one rushed forward and placed the keys on her desk. T0 the casual observer they were only our ttgym and locker keys; but to us, in some mysterious fashion, they had changed magically into the keys of Health and Knowledge. And sofl Miss Clark said, llyour quest here for the keys has finished; but you will go on searching in High School for the keys of Wisdom and Experience, which will help you unlock the door to Life.
