St. Philip and St. james' High School 'J?'-ff NV'-- 'KF a greater share of the responsibility for the ultimate success of our project. By this time, too, we had acquired a certain measure of pride in our skill as mountain climbers and we began to get a better perspective of the relationship between what we were doing with what had already been done and with what was to follow. The whole enterprise became more significant, more meaning- ful, more purposeful for all of us. With less difliculty than we anticipated, we arrived the following June at the summit of Mt. Junior, which, as we knew, marked the beginning of the final stage of our adventures. There we made the usual summer camp, re- flecting, at times, during the long, hot days, on the tasks, the perils, the possi- bilities that lay before us. U Undaunted, however, we enthusiastically began in September the hazard- ous enterprise of scaling dangerous Senior Peak, which is surmounted, as the feel that the time had C0018 When, for OL11' OWI1. good, we must need 2.SSLll'1'1e maps show, by Graduation Rock. In the earlier stage of the ascent, uip the High School Rockies, a little slipping back now and then, was not particu- larly serious. This was particularly so when we came through the Freshman Foothills. On Senior Peak, however, one slip may be fatal to the -whole pro- ject. There is neither time nor opportunity there, to remedy damage done, making uip for lost time on Senior Peak is practically out of the question. Every moment, every step counts. Our guides, while still willing no give aid where needed, made it clear that they expected us to carry our full share of responsibility and to see to it that the things which needed to be done were done without undue prodding by them. Presently, they pointed, you will be climbing che world mountains alone and unaided, and the more you learn to rely on yourselves while we are still with you, the easier will it be for you when you have to rely on yourselves alone. Senior Peak we have successfully scaled, and we stand on Graduation Rock, peering across the valley for a better view of the world mountains, up which we must make our respective ways alone. We have conquered the formidable High School Rockies, and we look back upon the achievement with pride and satisfaction. A pleasant glow of affectionable recollection suflices us, too, as we review the long and happy years spent together as we struggled side by side mountain climbers of 1928. oseph McDevitt,i 28. , J ! 1928 01411111141 - N-v ,a?Wf 'Qv-v'm2a.Aft
