A MOUNTAIN CLIMB Nearly four years ago, we set out, more than fifty of us. light-hearted, and courageous, on what looked like a pleasant journey. We never felt a fear that the trip might he too long or too steep. W e were brave little Freshmen, with our eyes on the goal, a High School diploma, to be claimed when we had reached the lofty peak which marks the journey’s end. We soon found we could not “travel light”, hut were burdened with such impedimenta as Languages, Math.. Science, and the like. All of these made the going harder, hut we had guides to give us a lift, now and then. Miss Frances Irwin was our first guide. Finally most of us reached the first mile, and started on the second mile. It was our good fortune to have Mr. McMillen as our personal conductor, and he was kept quite busy warning us of pit-falls and pulling us out of tight places. We found it was necessary to stop and rest, so we took part in several parties and plays. We were certainly glad to be able to say, after reaching the second mile post, “We are half way up the trail”! On the next mile we found that Mr. McMillen was to be guide of all the parties going up the mountain, and Miss Ewing became our personal guide. The leading event of the Junior year was the Junior-Senior Prom, which went over in a big way. The Juniors had the honor of taking part in the County Championship Basketball Team, in the High School Orchestra, and in the High School play. We were all anxious to begin on our last lap of the journey, and one of the first things we did was to elect a good staff of officers, and then we got settled on our issue of La Saltianna, under the expert guidance of Mrs. Margaret Hodgess. In the Operetta, we took the leading part, this year. As we reach the final peak, and are in sight of the goal, we find that there are higher mountains to climb. Some of these are “College , “Profession”, and “Business”—so instead of finishing now, we are really only starting our journey of life. And we are sure that we will go on and on. and make Saltsburg High School proud of us. —J. H. ’31 19 3 1 MZXMM}.SMPMMJy MSMR Pitge twenty-four
