TO THE SENIORS Iwish to congratulate all the seniors of l956,who are graduating this year. We will all of us miss you. But we cannot stop and ponder over what has tran- spired. We must go on and carry out our own careers. There is an opportu- nity for everyone if it is taken at the right time. For as Shakespeare says, There is a tide in the affairs of man, which when taken at its flood leads on to fortune. We must remember that we cannot stand still. The world rushes on every day, and if we dally along, and fail to go along with the tide, we will be left behind, discouraged and disap- pointed. One thing we can always do that will brighten our pathway--that is to be kind, considerate, and fair in our treatment of mankind. Smile and you willreceive a smile in return. Be good to people, do good to them and you shall be happy. MLZWZ, After acquiring as much knowledge as is reasonably possible about himself and his environment, it is the privilege of each individual to make suitable de- cisions. Up to this stage in life, the time of departing from high school, each senior has been in a large meas- ure counseled at home in making his decisi'ons. He has now reached one of the many crossroads of life and must determine where he shall be, how he shall be and what he shall bein the world. Regardless of which way he turns, he will be facedagain and again with making additional decisions, some apparently small and others obviously large, every one of which will contribute in design- ing his whole pattern of life--its worth- iness, usefulness and happiness. 4-GLX
