Belmont High School - Blueprint Yearbook (Belmont, MA)

hen WE graduate” has been a phrase often used during the past three years, and now it’s here — graduation, a little more serious than gay as we had expected, but still a definite milestone. Leaving high school?” What do you plan to do?” In these war years, the boys let Uncle Sam settle that; the girls have more freedom of choice. How- ever, all of us regard Belmont High School as the hub of a wheel from which we separate and spread like spokes, and, in this year of 1945, our only rim is the earth itself. Some will cover many miles and countries physically; some will labor mentally with concentration they never dreamed they possessed; many of us will meet unpleasant realities — homesickness, unfairness, dishonesty — things which scarcely touched our school lives. However, we have absorbed much democracy, and now we must live it. Wherever we go, we must live the things we believe in. This ideal must be constantly before us. No matter what race, nationality, or creed we contact, all will understand what we believe when we live by our beliefs. Sometimes Belmont High School has seemed like a jail, sometimes a refuge, sometimes just plain fun. But always it has been our daily business and the center of our activities. We have experienced our share of victorious foot- ball, basketball, and baseball teams as well as losing ones. We have had school plays and dances — good, bad, and indifferent. Some of our classes we have enjoyed, others . . . Even so, it was all our school. Though we wander far, and pass years in many places, memories are deeply imbedded. Twenty years from now, a football game will cause us to remember a close one against Watertown; a half -forgotten name on the page of a newspaper will bring forth the remark, Why I knew him at Belmont High School. And so our thoughts will travel back to our high school hub, Belmont High School. Mike and Tim, Co-Editors
