' CAPITOL PAGE SCHOOL GRADUATION The scene is the spacious and elegant Ways and Means Committee Room in the New House Office Building. The time is Friday eve- ning, June I l, l948. The occasion is one that will long be remembered by the members of the Senior Class. Graduation from high school is always one of the principle events in the life of any individual. The pages are no ex- ceptions. This year thirteen boys will wear the covet- ed caps and gowns. The number is always rather small, for Page School is a small school. The graduate may feel a great sense of pride, it is an honour to be listed assuch on the roster of this School. The pages in the Capitol and Supreme Court have earned a high posi- tion, and can justly feel proud of their achieve- ments. Therefore, when one changes his status from pupil to alumnus with this significant ceremony, he should be glad when he looks back ond says, l om from the Capitol Page -By Richard A. Haefs School! The program is simple and quiet surround- ed with a hushed air of dignity. Distinguished guests and various members of the class ad- dress the large audience of parents and friends. There are frequent soft interludes of musical renditions by a military band. The climax of this drama arrives when the diplomas are dis- tributed. This is the moment everyone has been waiting for. For the graduate it means an end to all the little joys and invaluable experiences of high school life, but a great step toward success. Underneath the joyous mood that is so prevalent, there is, however, a certain sorrow. The class enjoys the prospects of an end to high school studies, but it is hard to bid fare- well to the staunch friends at Page School. lt is with regret, then, that the seniors of l948 bid fond adieux, os they step out into the greater world beyond. ...871
