SCHOOL BOARD As you of the graduating class look back over your school years, you probably have already forgotten most of the trials and tribulations, the drab and monotonous classes, and that group of unreasonable individuals known as teachers. As more time goes by, you will begin to remem- ber the teachers as ordinary human beings, and school in general will be remembered as a ball , but you will also remember an incident or so that you wish could be done over. So it is with life, it is mostly hum-drum routine, and it seems there still are people around giving orders that must be followed. But, if you live a fruitful life, you will have a lot of pleasant memories and not so many memories of incidents that should be lived over. The experience you have gained in school is just as much a part of education as the academics; so use it profitably, and life will not be dull, but a pleasure.
