The CHARHIAN Diary of a Senior Girl Monday — Ho! Hum! Another week be- gins and no more dates for a few days. Had fun at school today. Hut oh! such awful as- signments; you’d think we didn't have anything to do. My goodness, when do they think we’ll have time to go down to Bruno’s for a coke? Tuesday—Had to go to school early so I could give a hook report. I surely could think of more pleasant things to do than read. To- morrow is the im- portant day—another date with Jack. He’s so wonderful and just my type. Wednesday Just spent the most wonderful hours of my life. Jack and I went to the show. It was a love picture. Jack and I were sitting too close and the ushers turned the flashlight on us. Talk of embarrassing moments! That beat them all. Thursday—Spring fever got me. 1 didn’t do a bit of work at school today. Went with the gang down to Bruno’s for a coke and talked about our dates last night. Friday—No more school for two days. Went to the dance at school. More fun. There were some cute out-of-town boys. (But Jack’s still for me!) Saturday—(Jot up early this morning and went to Lansing with mother. I got the cutest dress. Mother was sort of mad because she didn’t think I needed it. but she finally gave in. Met the gang at Bruno’s and then went to the show at the Eaton. Sunday—Jack was over all day. We had a family dinner and of course Jack stayed. We went bowling in the afternoon and then to the last show. Had more fun this week end.

Eileen Pundik | Your Diploma is no Passport To a Workless Utopia Well, you’ve reached the end of that long, rocky road which took four years and what do you find waiting for you? A diploma. Yes. at that moment it seems there’s just no further goal to be reached. The graduate who steps into the merry-go-round of life finds that his diploma no longer unlocks every door to the future. Years ago it was a wonderful thing to have that precious piece of paper, but today it just unlocks the door to college. The number of high school students going on to college is increasing year by year. The youth of today must realize this fact and see what he can do to reach his horizon. That college door which a diploma unlocks isn’t inviting one in for tea; it merely signfies much more work. The more work one puts ,into it. the more he gets out of it. For the perfect job. college is a must. The world today is requiring more and more of youth. It’s up to youth to fulfill those expecta- tions. Those attending college can face life; squarely, with a knowledge that they hold the education, and all they need to do is to get experience. Students receiving diplomas should cast their eyes to the far off future and realize just what little benefit that diploma is going to give them when there is so much more to learn. Life demands much more than a diploma for a passport to the perfect job and the sooner this is realized the better off the individual is.
