SENIOR PHILOSOPHY Commencement brings thoughts of the end of happy, care- free times, thoughts of busy likable teachers, and thoughts of close cherishable friendships. All these will be brought to a close when we are graduated, but in this complex world a conclusion always brings a larger opening. When we were six, we left our toys and long naps for grade school. Later we departed from the fundamental prin- ciples to study more advanced subjects in high school. During each of these steps we broadened our intellectual capacity as well as our view of life- in general. Yet each time we progressed, we had a fooling of leaving something be- hind k Unconsciously we took everything with us in the form of, not only memories, but also lessons. Each step was essen- tial for the lessons it taught As we prepare to bid high school farewell, we must remem- ber that we are merely enlarging ourselves in order to grow into men and women of whom America can well be proud.
