Roads are the indicators of civilization. Where there are no roads, ignorance, famine, and pestilence prevail. Where the roads are wide and open, ignorance vanishes, famine is alleviated, and pestilence is brought un- der control. Along the wide road may come the necessary remedies to dissipate all these wretched conditions. The advancement of civilization of a country is in direct pro- portion to its system of highways. The splendid roads the Romans built tended to hold their great Empire together. As the roads decayed and crumpled, Rome fell. Today we have built in America as fine a system of highways as the world has ever seen. Qur states and cities are joined by great bands of concrete, facilitating the ex- change of ideas and commodities. Tourists travel the width and breadth of the country seeking knowledge and recreation. Some wander along trails that wind aimlessly: some speed along great smooth highvvaysg others travel over a narrow, rough, but straight road. We seniors have just travelled over a section of our road of life. We have journeyed over broad highways and narrow pathways. We have crossed hot deserts and shady dells. We have travelled the road together thus far. Now the road branches, and we go our separate ways. Before we part let us express our gratitude for those who have been our guides. Let us plot a course to our goal, either finding a road or making onef' 7

JAMES LANGSTON P1'CJl.dt'1If0f Senior Class The Highway of Education Years ago, a group of children came to- gether to begin a marvelous march up the Highway of Education. The eyes of the chil- dren looked up this road-for the Highway of Education never leads down-and to them it seemed a very long wayg but when one has travelled all its distance and then looks back, it doesn't seem nearly as long as it did at first. The children were brave and enthusiastic and eager to start. So, ever accompanied by an older, wiser person to guide them, they set forth. At first it was merely an adventure. The little ones were happy, and they enjoyed their life together. Although the road was not very wide, it was light and sunnyg it passed by pleasant meadows and refreshing streams. A few difficulties were met, but they of- fered little opposition. A beautiful blue sky spread, absolutely boundless, above them. Qn its distant horizon it seemed to say, Here's opportunity never endingf' The highway extending toward this horizon grew ever broader even though it might have seemed a trifle steeper. But as the boys and girls climbed onward and upward, they too grew into stronger children, healthy in body and keen in mind. The work of the leader was being done well. If the small group ever be- came tired of travelling the highway, it was not for long. A little rest, a vacation perhaps, would send them eagerly on. The children followed this road for six yearsg then, lo, it joined with other roads and became a larger one. At this junction they met other groups, and all together the whole group proceeded onward. Now they had more leadersg the highway became wider. Travelling was a little harder, but their minds and bodies were still increasing in ability and strength enough to climb onward and upward. The sky remained clear, and no really foreboding cloud ever appeared. After several more years the students of the senior class of l935 have come to the goal of graduation. Twelve years they have jour- neyed over the Highway of Education. Some of them will traverse the road of Higher Edu- cationg some will go at once into life in the world outsideg but all have travelled thus far a successful journey and are prepared for what may befall. 106
