Being a senior is a mystical, imponderable experience, It is a host of fleeting mo- ments- Elusive laughter and warmth, A period of time belonging to memories that remain locked in a senior's heart, A year that is intangible, un- forgettable, and Durant. It is the past. It is a place at the top, The culmination of a whole environment, Desires have beeen realized or discarded, Now is the hour,,,a senior accepts his sacred diploma with mixed emotions, But most of all it is a foun- dation, The first plateau, The commencement, Being a senior is an awak- ening- Suddenly he is independent, the sturdy string retaining him from adulthood has snappeduhe must walk alone to seek his own destiny, It is a hazy but glorious ques- tion Holding a promise of growth, The end for a beginning, 66Eaeh Senior Makes His Uwn Destin
