 a APPRENTICES At commencement lime, we take the opportunity to look back upon our years in high school. As freshmen, we thought the seniors were awfully tall and sophisticated, our- selves as just another cog in the wheel. 1 hen we became sophomores, new freshmen took our places at the bottom and we were on our way up. We thought we were sitting on top of the world. We took a greater part in the extra-curricular activities, and we got to know more people. Before we really realized it. our second year had passed. We were juniors. Oh sweet sixteen! We began appearing at school with our :ars. As the year progressed, we found mrselves carrying responsibilities. Next fear, we thought, the seniors will be Zone, and it will be our turn to stand at he top and make ol our school what we vill. Then finally that June day comes ind we are seniors! 1 hree years ago we bought it could never happen, and now ve can scarcely believe time has passed 0 quickly. I he school is ours. Septem- ber comes, and we have our pictures iken, order calling cards, preside over meetings and study college catalogues, all days fly by faster than we expected. Ve settle down to study for the college oard exams we re going to take in the pring. I hen suddenly final exams are pon us. A last mad rush to cram into ur brains something we really should ave learned months ago. Finally, that ig day arrives. We stand in caps and owns before our parents and friends nd receive our diplomas from the chair- lan of the school board. It is our turn 1 be remembered by the classes to me. 15

Those early autumn or late spring days of warm sun and deep shade, the feel of cool grass, companionship and hooks and plans. I hese are moments that we treasure. Ouick moments there are too . . . the brig ht ' Hello” in passing, the clattering locker doors, spilled books and Where’s my pen?” or I can t see over you! Some of us first saw these halls when we were grade school age. We peered in through the doors or were the fortunate errand bearer that tip-toed down the hall and felt the thrill of quiet classroom stir. Then we dreamed of these days that are now. and of ourselves as part of this gay and busy world of high school. And now. we re here and there is surely little time for reflection, but we will remember moments like these—full, hurried, hopeful, or dispairing —in another day that beckons to us now. 14
