GRADUATION Soon June will come, iind we must go; We’re leaving the halls of our youth Burdened with all the ideas we know, In darkness, to search for the truth. Our songs are sung, the parting nears, We face the world; each alone. Will we forget in later years The goal we have set for our own? No: Let us remember always. When surmounting our common bars As we go our separate ways: Through Difficulty to the Stars.” NANCY DICKERSON.
