The World of business holds much in the way of future success for today's seniors . This last year of high school is a time of mixed emotions. It is natural to Want independence and to Want to make our own Way in the World. Graduation is a sad time because We will never see the whole class together again. Old friends Will be parted and scattered throughout the nation, perhaps throughout the World. Some will lead happy and successful livesg others will be far less fortunate. Most of us have started down the roads our lives will take. Some will change those paths, but some will not. Let us hope that this graduating class will reach their peak aspirations .
