he End Of A Chane ne We have seen the end of two chapters in our life span. The first one was very short. We remember only the high spots of that part of life we now call childhood—birthday parties and our first train ride, the sea shore in the summer, and the sleighrides in winter. The second, those years in grammar school, brings to mind the school plays, the Hallowe’en pranks, Christmas caroling, and finally — graduation. We really thought we were quite grown up then, didn’t we? Now we know differently. We’re approaching the end of the third, the most important one now. Whatever we remem- ber of the past will seem insignificant compared to the memories of these four years of high school life. Remembering “him” in the football games of our freshman year—at those sophomore swim- ming meets, putting a little something extra in- to “his” backstroke, ’cause “she” was there watching. Our first Junior prom in the eloquent- ly, decorated gym, and so proud of our first “formals” and escorts. That unforgettable com- mencement that brought a lump to his throat and tears to her eyes. But there were little things, too, such as get- ting a cut slip or seeing our name in the Entree linked with “that certain one.” That swelling of pride in our hearts whenever we made the honor roll. The empty feeling in our stomachs because of that first “F.” The excitement over the new schedules each term. The thrill of see- ing our names on the prospective graduate list. Cutting a spring day to go on a picnic. The Junior and Senior plays, the pep rallies, the football dances, the class meetings, signing year- books, saying goodbye. All these things we must turn our backs to, for we have yet to live. Someday, though. we can again look upon them. The tangible football schedules, yellow with age, play programs scribbled with com- ments, the crumpled remains of a corsage, the tarnished athletic awards, the yearbook, the intangible memories which we hold so dear. But just now, we must look ahead, for the future is more important than the past. And now we must simply call it “the end of a chapter.”
