Graduation from elementary school is almost like the first step taken by a baby. Before the baby learns to walk, he crawls. Later he stands by supporting himself upon some object. Then he begins to walk. Our education follows a similar pattern. We first learn the alphabet. Then, we master the fundamentals of reading, writing, grammar, and sentence structure. When we conclude the elementary course of study we graduate. Both baby and graduate have taken their first big step. Graduation is also a time for farewells to teachers and friends. We are left with a host of fond memories. This parting is difficult to bear. It means an end to a security we have always known. We must now become, almost overnight, responsible and mature individuals. After graduation, we change schools and must form new friend ships. We are a bit afraid of the future. However, we are confi- dent that, in time, we will make the proper adjustment to our new environment. We really do not have to give up our old friendships. lf we truly desire, we can keep in touch with each other no matter which high school we attend. I hope sincerely that graduation will not cause us to drift too far apart from each other. We should plan to get together to remember the common experiences we enjoyed in our elementary school years. This will help us to re- main close friends throughout our lives. SHE LLEY BROWN 36

This is supposed to be the money- back guarantee to pass an elementary course without doing any- thing a whole term. The only hitch is that in the last two weeks of the term you must study until two o'clock A.M. every night, and commit to memory thousands of new facts, definitions, for- mulas, etc. In plain English, you must memorize the textbook. For some youngsters, this has many advantages. It assures them of a leisurely school year and just a reasonable amount of night- mares about passing. As is to be expected, the crammed infor- mation is forgotten five minutes after the student has taken the examination . However, there is another path on the road of learning, a slower, longer, but surer way. This is the practice of daily study By this method, the student reviews daily the amount she has learned in school and remembers it. As the day of the test draws near the student does not panic. As she reviews her notes, she finds that most of the information is very familiar. She does not have to learn the whole course in a short time. As this student enters the classroom where the test is about to be given, she feels a confidence and calmness. This comes from the knowledge that she has nothing to fear, as she has done her work faithfully and thoroughly. The practice of daily study, in my opinion, not only assures a better mark on a test, but helps the student get more out of her studies. This is the real purpose and joy of learning. ITA HASS 37
