match our abilities with those of other people, thus training and developing them. Sometimes these tests of our knowledge provide openings of life-long importance. Through the arts, we may share our talents, and enlarge and strengthen them by diligent effort in our classes. Through service, we come to under- stand more fully the problems of other students and to feel satisfaction in helping them find solutions. In our clubs, the adventure of mem- bership and leadership gives us the joy of comradeship while we are learning to live in harmony with others and to respect their de- sires. By taking part in athletics, we condition ourselves for vigorous living and, in addition, learn to meet disappointments and to renew our efforts. If we take advantage of all the opportunities open to us, we are laying the foundation for future happiness and success. The key to these openings is bestowed upon us by the members of the faculty, who them- selves are constantly pioneering in more efficient and effective methods of education. They endeavor, by building up in us the knowledge which will enable us to prevail over the problems of our ever-changing world, to prepare us for greater frontiers than we have yet encountered. The staff of the 1948 SACHEM pays trib- ute to the pioneers of Southwest High School.

Y iv-i--f-+ -v--- -f Over a century ago, caravans of covered wagons streamed across the unexplored ex- panses of our nation. In them were pioneers who found new hopes and dreams of happiness, con- tentment, and success with every mile of undulating prairie or precipitous mountain trail they traversed. The hardships they were forced to endure called for the utmost courage, fortitude, and stamina. These ambitious, hard- .working men and women, through' their deter- mination tof forge on tow better opportunities, served as one link in the ever-lengthening chain of progress. Today, as then, each new discovery points the way to broader frontiers ready for eziplora- tion and development. And, as the pioneers of the early nineteenth century struggled against privations and adversities, so must the pioneers of the present day overcome many difficulties and, at times, even the ridicule and indiffer- ence of others. Real pioneers strive to surmount these obstacles in order to attain their goals. For us at Southwest the opportunities for discovery and development, challenging the initiative, ambition, and pioneering-spirit of every pupil and teacher, are many. Through participation in diversified and constantly expanding activities, we prepare ourselves for fruitful, abundant lives. Through scholarship and contest, we receive the opportunity to
