WHAT DO WE CAERY AWAY?
We carry away with us a year’s
work, and if the lightness of our
booty startles us, we are wise in the
weight of the blame. Some efforts
materialize and some do not. But
what have we learned? Have we
reached a sensible age or has a year
of school work only added to the
memory of giddy kindergarten days ?
Is our life but a dream? Or have
we soaked into ourselves truths, pur
poses, themes and throbs of solid,
honest living? Do the so-called high,
words of honor, integrity, intoler
ance still seem to bounce hollowly
in our minds ?
We should not j>ass by such
thoughts, or reason with ourselves.
We take our own scores, and ques
tion the results. Saint Mary’s, any
school, throws opportunities straight
at us. We pick them up or walk on
i>y-
Dedication of mind, spirit, is a
most beautiful act.
WE, THE SENIORS
Good-bye, school, we’re through!
And as quick as that we, the Seniors,
leave Saint Mary’s. The two or
more years are over and now we are
leaving the “grove of stately oak
trees” never again to return as stu
dents and have to sign in the parlor,
never again to have to sign in the
Holt Book.
With a sigh of relief we leave the
never ending stacks of white and
pink slips for various permissions
and penalties. With a sigh of relief
we leave the hells and early morning
breakfast and classes without cuts.
But still we leave with a tear, for
Monday we will break the ties that
have held us very, very close through
two school years. We have made
friends that we will never forget or,
lose track of. With these friendships
the ties to Saint Mary’s are strength
ened and we know that they will
never comidetcly break. But yet
we’re going to miss the Little Store
and the I’eter Ban, the Ambassador
Theater, the buses, the Sir Walter
and all the rest of Raleigh.
