THE ACADEMIAN EDITORIAL ' Graduation, the goal of every senior, has come at last. We've watched the thrilled excitement of the others before us, waiting for our big moment, and now it has arrived. A class of one hundred and seventy people, we are one of C. A.'s largest. In a short while we shall leave Canandaigua Academy to go out on our own-whether to college, business school, or em- ployment. The commencement exercises on the night of June twenty-fourth will separate us from the student life of our school, but Canandaigua Academy will always have a large spot in our hearts. We are going out into a world that has an unusually large dis- advantage and also an unusually large advantage. There is the disadvantage of the present world crisis, in which we may be in- volved. There is the advantage of an opportunity for work that is more of an opportunity now than it has been for years. We have the other advantage of the thorough education we have received during the past twelve or thirteen years, an education that will see us through many trials. On the whole, we, as a class, have enough to lick the world, if we're the kind of persons we've shown ourselves to be. To the undergraduates, the large part of the student body who will carry on in our places, we say- Keep up the good work. You can take our Alma Mater even farther than we have, with yo-ur added opportunities of new athletics, new courses of study, new opportunities. When your turn comes, and you leave her, remem- ber her, as we shall. 7
