These words by Tennyson take on a special meaning for us as Seniors. Thinking on them naturally turns our thoughts back to that big day in '38 when we attended school for the first time, thus taking the initial step on the long road of education. It seems so far back that we can see it only dimly and can remem- ber only the feeling of wonder we had, and the sense of time flying as our grammar school days whirled by. junior High School with its new and exciting experiences including the talk of war and our own participation in the war effort was upon us then. We remember the scrap drives and bond sales and the willing- ness with which everyone joined in to do his part. Impressed vividly upon our minds also is the memory of peace declared and the responsibility we felt as citizens, not only of one nation, but of one world. Upon graduation from junior High, we paused briefly to look back over the eight preceding years and to rejoice in our own attainment. But we didn't pause long in reverie, for high school, with all its promises, was ahead, and we were eager to try our- selves in that realm. During the first part of that Freshman year our faces expressed perpetual amaze- ment, so many new studies, so many new people, so many new experiences and activi- ties. Day after day, however, those Freshmen of '47 gained in self-assurance and became more alert. It was high school that taught us the true meaning of school spirit. We also learned to appreciate the worth of the individual, for as we watched our classmates and saw some excel in sports, some in the field of music, others in scholarship and good citizenship, we realized that each had a talent above that of the average, and had his place to fill. This respect for the abilities of others taught us the value of co-operation as the means of attaining our goals. At the same time, we learned to think independently and act de- cisively. Our junior year was a busy one, during which we cast many inquisitive glances at the Seniors and tried to imagine ourselves in their places. Thus, we began to look forward to our own Senior year and even beyond- to our future after 1950. The fact that for so long we had antici- pated being Seniors did not make the reality any more credible. As we got into our Senior year though, it turned out to be the best ever. It was so filled with exciting activi- ties, the Junior-Senior, and all the others, that it seemed to be ending almost as soon as it had begun. So, when graduation night and diplomas became realities and we walked up the auditorium aisles for the last time, we could not keep away a feeling of awe that high school days had ended so quickly. Now that we have proved to ourselves that we are capable of setting our goals and attaining them we look eagerly ahead, to higher aims and goals. We pause but briefly in the glory of accomplishmentg then each shall choose his path, set his goal, and go forward unhesitatingly towards it. Written by: Anita Robinson
