Sa edness ee ae See een SO RE aie | Prelude Some may look upon graduation from high school as a finale. In a way it is. Perhaps commencement ceremonies may even be said to symbolize the end of a way of life. But in truth, high school is no more than a prelude to the greater drama to come. For some of us “the old hill of business” will be the opera to which high school life provides the overture. The majestic strains of a wedding march will be played for some, and for others, perhaps, martial music will provide the keynote. Whatever the theme, up to now no more than the opening passages have been composed. Only time will unveil the rest of the score. For we are all in the midst of an Unfinished Symphony. Upon us depends the course the music will take, and with us rests the decision of what the finale will be. Harmony will not prevail all the way through. There will be discords. Always it has been thus, but each of us holds it within himself to make of the concluding passages a song of joy. Some of us have reached the end of the prelude and are ready to raise the curtain on the drama itself. Others have farther to go before they reach that point. Eventually we will all finish with the preliminaries. The closing art is a good distance away, but trusting in the Greatest Maestro to guide us through the score, the end can be reached without drifting too far out of key. Let us look forward with confidence.
