IHIS. IMMAK ULATA 2 IMMACULATE CONUEPTION HIGH SL H001 e itorial 'l'o the .luniors. Sophomores. and Freshmen, Commencement Day means just another turn of the massive wheel in Education's vast and mighty mill, just one more day on the school calendar, but to the Seniors this momentous event stands for something far more: to them lt means the coming true of happy dreams- -fulfilled ambitions of four long. tedious, yet happy years. School days for upper classmen at l. C. are now coming rapidly to an end. Commencement Day will soon make them full-fledged graduates, when they will be eligible to enter institutions of higher learning or to try out their education in the world's various industries. ln a very short time, these young men and women of the graduating class, eighteen in number, will be expected to face alone the problems of a practical life in the big, wide world, they must soon enter the rank and file of the on-rushing tide of humanity in which they will bargain and barter, propose and decide for themselves, not under the careful, painstaking guidance of a facility that is solicitous for their temporal and spiritual welfare, but according to their own judgment and opinions. The road of golden opportunity now lies open before them and the ever-beckoning finger of Time urges them to enter upon this well-beaten track, so they follow the dictates of the supreme mandate. As is well known, the path of life branches off to the right and to the left. lt has many by-ways. Upon the decision of the individual as to which direction to take at the forks of the road, depends much of his or her well-being here and hereafter. The success or the failure in life of our Senior students will now depend very largely upon the choice decided upon, as well as on the prudent or injudlcious use they make of the knowledge acquired during the course of their journey through the class-rooms of our dear Immaculate Conception School. What- ever may be the trend of their adventure. we sincerely trust that they will do all that lies in their power to live up to noble, worthy principles--high ideals and hope that the benefits that accrue from their example of fortitude in well doing will be a worthy contribution to posterity. ln bidding Farewell then to the Seniors of 1935, who comprise the sixth graduating class of our school, we Juniors extend to them our most sincere wishes for real success, fully confirmed that they will utilize, to the best of their ability, any presented opportunity to do good, that they will he willing and ready to give to the world valorous deeds of highest quality, even if the giving exacts most untiring effort. ln conclusion, we assure the Seniors that we will do our part in perpetuating the fame of I.
