A Never'T Be'Forgotten Stairway Flora Mae Roth, ’36 A stairway can be a very apt similitude of the achievement of any goal in life, but the one that I love most to ally it with is our high-school years. Each new undertaking accomplished is a higher step toward the threshold of life; every honest effort put forth makes more pure the foothold on each stopping-off place; every stair is a milestone, never to be forgotten, never to be regretted. As the years go by, the steps are a little more difficult to attain. Probably we have grown a wee bit tired striving eagerly to reach our goal; but it is worth the trouble. From the foot of the stairs we looked up with apprehension; the top looked far away. We were really glad to have the intervening steps gradually growing less in reaching our path towards learning. Now, looking down with most of our onerous way behind us, they seem only too short and precious. We are following only the illumined route of those before us. The senior classes of all the years have really smoothed the way. They gave us confidence to mount. It is our rsponsibility to carry up their standards and make our footsteps worthy of those who have reached the landing before us.
