Tick, took, tick, tock, tick, tock ,,,and with each in- significant tick which unwaringly slips by, like a shadow in the night, we lost one more second; yes, one more precious second of life. Have you ever thought of this mysterious nonentity, which no man had ever been able to conquer, called TIME? How many seconds have you wasted or overlooked? Now, we seniors, are ready to take one of the greatest steps in our heretofore sheltered lives. We stand on the threshold, one of the many important ones we may have to cross in our lifetime. We realize, for the first time, what faces us; we are suddenly aware of the gigantic, cruel, and cold place this world of ours can be. For the past twelve years we have been sheltered, coaxed, led, and nursed. No real misfortune or trouble has been ours. Our decisions may have seemed momentous, but were they? parents were our guides, our crutches as it were. True, some of our present and past problems have appeared tremendous; but In We do not wsuit to appear pessimistic about the future, but we must be realistic. This is an age of A” bombs and of ”H bombs. This is a godless age in many parts of the world. However, we Americans know that though time may fleet, the times may be lacking in faith and humanity, but we have the best possible country. There are good people in the world of ours. There are helping hands extended all around us. What we need is the sense and humility to reach out and grasp them. There is need to recognize life and to accept it. All is not gloom in the world; there is happiness, joy, and beauty all about USo Seize the opportunity! Let the lessons of school mean something during life. If the lessons learned are put into practice, then we can in truth say that we are using our education for the purpose intended. Good Luck, Seniors! Pauline C,A, Sldotl Editor-in-chief
