6 THE CAULDHON FARE THEE WELL Amid the hustle and bustle of averaging marks, marching, trying on caps and gowns, preparations for the ball, we, seniors, some of us at least, find ourselves getting a little sentimental. Perhaps we're feeling this way be- cause we're beginning to realize that we are leaving the best times of our young lives behind and that we are going out into a world of every man for himself -a world that is entirely new and different for us. We're graduating from high school-from four long years of fun, studying and working together-graduating from Rockland High School, the school we've cheered for on the sidelines, played for, worked for and stood by. Our school, though a small one, has offered us, besides a variety of extra curricular activities that even a large school can not far exceed, the little things that a city school can not provide. Our school is really one big, happy family-we strive together, help one another and work for the honor of our family name. After graduation our little family breaks up. We go out on our own- some to another alma mater, some to jobs, professions, but we all are going by ourselves no more to be the carefree teen-agers enjoying school games, plays, Karnivals, proms and the everyday after-school chats and get togethers-all the joys of happy adolescents. Now we're leaving ado- lescence and becoming adults who have a more important and significant part to play in life. From now on, we can't look on at country affairsg we must take part in them and be responsible. The path we have chosen in our adult life will be full of ruts, turns and disappointments. It will not be easy and at times we'll have our doubts as to whether the effort is worth the cost. Keeping in mind that we get out of life as much as we put into it, we say goodbye to our carefree youth and face the world with a trust and confidence we hope will not be vanquished as time marches on. MARY CARRILLO THE BASIL CASE The sign on the door read: Harold J ameson-District Attorney . Inside, the office was plain but attractive. An oldish man in a black suit sat at the maple desk and was talking on a telephone, J im, will you come in here a minute? Yes, it's important. The door to the inner office was opened a few seconds later by a young man who was the assistant district attorney. Sit down, Jim, I've got some news for you. Remember the Basil case in which the star and only witness for the state was murdered ? Sure, I remember. That was just before I came here. Got some new evidence on it? Jim went over and sat on the desk. How about starting from the beginning and letting me get the story straight? Here it is. A year ago Mr. Blane, the head banker at the People's Bank, was killed in a holdup. There was a watchman who saw the man come in and kill Blane. For a while he kept quiet, but, when he found out that the killer thought no one had seen him, the watchman reported to me. Of course, the 51,000 reward had no effect on him. Wasn't the watchman's name Zed Carny ? Yes, that's right. Somehow the killer discovered what Old Zed knew
