Failing grades, which prohibit graduation, may yet be made. These people are CANDIDATES for graduation. - We Face the Future THOUGH my four years at high school are at an end, I shall never forget the memories acquired here. The class parties, assemblies, and all the sports contests are past, but not forgotten. Now as I look to the future, I see how much fun I have had at school. Heartbreak, disap- pointments, and enjoyment were faced, and each time things worked themselves out. Leaving all this behind, we the people of tomorrow face the future. As was true in our school days, some will be successful, others will get along, and the rest will fall by the wayside. THERE are those who have more or less ridden through school on the ability of others. If you are one of these, you had better start trying to better yourself: for the world has no place for those who would shirk their duty. The time has arrived when each and everyone of us must make a decision. This decision is very important, for it will determine whether you will be successful, or if you will fall by the side. The decision is what are you going to be? What are you going to do to carry your- self over the road of life? I

rmday,May27,1952 GRANITE HIGH wontn PGQQI9 ff llnll L'f4'S.4.a.ff!'3-f .Y 2 What We Pray For- WILL it rain? WILL it be misty? I wonder what it will be like? These three are the comments heard the day before senior recognition day. Today is that long awaited day when seniors take their place on the stage and have the honors they have acquired through their four years of school announced to as much of the school as pos- sible. THEN, after every tribute has been paid, the school will be recessed for the senior flag raising. All the seniors gather around the flag pole while the senior flag is being raised. Then the whole school joins in with them to sing the school song. THIS is an event in every senior's life, which he looks forward to. Let's all hope it is not spoiled by a bad day, and each of us try to make it as good a day as possible for those among us who are graduating. The Time Has Come THE time has come when we must go. This is the thought which is foremost in the mind of all top seniors. GRADUATION takes us out of the school picture, but it doesn't mean we are leaving without having left our plague behind. Some have excelled in sports, others in speech, some in journalism, and still others have been busy in everything. I - AS WE GRADUATE. each and everyone of us takes with him a cherished memory. It might not mean much to everyone, but to the top seniors it is an everlasting mem- ory of our days spent here. Therefore, speaking for the entire top senior class, I say, thank you Granite high for all the wonderful things you have done for us. There Is Regret But- SOMEHOW you never realize what something means to you until it is all over with. You never get the true meaning of anything until you have had time to think, and this holds true of us of the June '52 class. THROUGH our four years here, few of us realized what fun we were really having until now-on the eve of graduation. Our high school days are over and with them goes the worries of the studies, and of school life. But to all seniors, there is a regret at leaving-a regret at leaving a favorite sport, or that certain spot in school, where they have stood for four years: a fear that they may not measure up: that they may not be a success in later life. TIME MARCI-IES ON, and we must join those who have gone before us. There is no turning back the pages of time. From now on, we must accept the responsibil- ities of an adult. We must go forth into the world and take up the reins of leadership, for this is what graduation really means.
