' ' ' 'Y'7 W f'1rTf? '381 wwf? 1 PUHEWUHU Years ago, over the boundless undulating expanse of the West hovered shadows of the old covered wagons, steered by the horny hands of courageous men and women. Stretching from hill to hill and along endless lonely plains were straight dusty trails-left behind by toiling TRAIL BLAZERS. Today, we are following those trails of our gallant fore- fathers. We, too, move along with the burning desire to dis- cover . . . to master . . . to conquer. Ever since 1916, when the doors of our Alma Mater were first opened, the girls of the South Philadelphia High School have shown a fine pioneering spirit. Under such leaders as Dr. Wilson and Miss Wanger we have learned to travel along the road of progressive education. They have taught us to leave this, our school, greater and better than we found it. As our shadows grow dimmer and gradually fade into the horizon, we too shall have left a trail behind us . . . we, too, shall be called TRAIL BLAZERS.
