Q Q t ff . ll 1- iz '-4A' Hli,ll,ll ll THE Doon or KNAOWLEDGE PPOHTUNITY knocked and we opened the door-the door of knowledge. We encountered, now and then, many difficulties and, as we left school for the day, how often did we wish that it would blow up or burn up during the night! How many mornings we hated to go through those educational doors! Didn't we despise the place and everything connected with it? We were per- fectly normal. Everybody had those grim days. Those school days have flown fast and we are no longer kids, Now we remember the opportunity we had to improve ourselves. We look back upon the closed doors of English class, history, math or steno with regret that they are closing forever behind us. How little we realized from day to day the importance of each classroom door, for each has played its part in our path to the outside world and success. Catherine Didio, '47
