DEDICATION: HE HAD A DREAM We mourn the death of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who died so close to the time of our graduation and who dared to dream the impos- sible dream. To dream the impossible dream, to reach the unreachable star . . . Each one of us have high aspirations for the future and with graduation these aspirations will begin to be realized. For us, these past years in Wingate have been the most important ones in our lives. The foundations for all of our future endeavors were set here and our characters have been created here. Some of us shall go on to college. Others will seek places of employment. Whatever our plans may be for the immediate future, we must realize that whatever we decide from this point on will become an important factor in determining the pattern which our lives will follow. We have now reached a turning point in our lives. We are no longer children who will act on decisions made for us by teachers and relatives. That stage in our lives has past forever. Impish ideas and childlike pranks must be left behind, for now we have encroached on the path of adulthood. Those who are unable to accept the pressures and responsibilities now facing them will turn back and look for a crutch upon which to lean. The stronger ones shall boldly step out into the world, defiantly throw off their immaturity and become young men and women. We are now old and prudent enough to realize that we are not about to be miraculously transposed into a person of fame and fortune. No fairy god-mother is going to come and sprinkle dust on our heads, no golden gates are going to open and lead us to success. Perhaps movies and books have told us that this is how it happens, but in reality, we know incidents such as that are rare. Everyone likes to dream of how things will be when he is rich and famous. How all of the various luxuries of the world will be at his fingertips. It is fine to have a dream or a goal of this sort, but you can not build your life on dreams alone. lt would be wonderful if every man could weave a dream which would keep him from want and despair. Unfortunately, this is not so. Our dreams can become realities only if we strive with our last ounce of courage to reach the unreachable star.
