EDITORIAL June! Graduation! To us, the graduates of 1949, those are words of relief. We rejoice that we have finally attained our goal - gradua- tion, the end of four tedious years of book learning, of essay writing, of long source papers due on speci- fic dates, of math assignments, of afternoon slips, and of the general problems of school life. Our teachers have given us tasks to perform which we have in the majority of cases, we hope, car- ried through to completion. They have spent years teaching us to analyze subject matter, to formu- late opinions, and to adopt good work habits. In our class-room discussions we have learned to de- bate without argument, to make co- operative decisions without vacil- lation, to understand social ills without making unfair discrimina- tions. In fact, they have done their utmost to train us to become fair- minded citizens to fight for a prin- ciple , to bette r mankind. They, like the potter with his clay, have molded us with patience and understanding, constantly turning and shaping the clay into a useful object. But now with diplomas in hand, we realize that high school has been merely a preparation, a training ground. We shall discover that ed- ucation never ceases. Our future beckons; the great adventure calls. We have acquired only the founda- tion of living. The future will de- termine the structure. May it be a strong one. iii
