We have worked toward this memorable occasion for twelve, and maybe more, years, and have looked happily forward to it, but now that we have it at our finger tips we are not so sure we want it so much. Graduation means a great deal 9ore than j\2st being handed a diploma and walking acres# a stage. It means the passing of the happiest and most cars- free days of our lives; it sends us out into the world on our own to prepare for, and face, life by ourselves. The Seniors can no longer say “Oh, well^ naat year I'll really get down to ^ork and be the citizen that will make my school proud." No, we seniors have had our chances, we are filling out the vary last pages of ottr books of high school memories, and idiether the past pages are filled with wonderful memories a** with regret is entirely dependent upon us. Some of us have to look back and be sorry because %ie did not do this that, because we let so many splendid opportunities pass us by, and many tines We have to skin pages filled with things We did do for i^ch we sre sorry. Sure, Ws can see now, thst our teachers and Glenn were right when they said we did not realise the importance of hard study and applying ourselves these four years, but the light dawned too late for seme of us. For you underclassmen there is a great challenge, You have time left, not to erase your smudgy pages, but to minimize them with what 3rou do in the future, Ri^t now all you care about may be plodding through your remaining year, or years as swiftly and easily as possible and walking out into the world with a diploma, free of worries. When graduation rolls around and reali zation explodes in your face like a bomb (and it will), you will never forgive yourself for your indolence and neglect of yourself and your school. You really will not. "The Moving Finger writes; and having writ Moves onJ Nor all your Piety nor wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line Nor all your Tears wash out a word of it." The Seniors of '55 leave our be loved Alma Mater to you underclassmen, as it has been left to us In the years past. Never let its standards fall. You are the ones who must uphold them and make them better. "To you frem failing hands we threw the torch, be yours to hold it high." EDITOR FAREWELL Another school year is drawing swiftly to a close. Let us all stop, look back and sec if it has been a Buocessful year for us. Are you proud of your grades? Perhaps you could have done batter. Have you been a good citi zen and added to your school this year? There are numerous questions we might ask. No dotdit we would not be satisfied with the answers. This gives ue the basis for a resolution. Let us face next year with the will to make it more successful than this, if possible.
