PRE IDE T'S MESSAGE We ofTen hear The expression, How Time flies! BuT in our young lives, we seldom realize The Trufh and graviTy of Those words. Four years seem like an eTerniTy, buf in realiTy, we find They are liTTle more Than an incidenf-a delighfful chapTer. To many of us, while Those four years were in The making, Their gaiefy seemed dimin- ished by slighT grievances. i However, looking back upon ThaT period, we find ThaT iT was more joyful Than iT appears To have been. When leaving all This behind us, and crossing The Threshold To more serious maTTers, we will recall Those carefree days and noTe wiTh regreT The speed wiTh which They passed. Many of us realize how much we have mafured while in high school. Many may Think Thaf There is very liTTle Thaf They have noT yef experienced. No doubT, many will leave James Monroe eagerly looking forward To Their debuf in The more complex world. LiTTle do They realize, however, whaT They are leaving and for whaT fuTure They are desfined. For Those who confinue To college or oTher educafional cenfers, There will be few major changes save Those of meefing and making new friends. BuT Those who enTer inTo business, will be compelled To shed Their youfhful, careless ways and don The cloak of responsibiliTy. All of us now enTering an inflamed and angry world, will see, as Though for The firsf Time, how biTTer and uncompromising The world can be. LeT us, Therefore, noTe wiTh concern whaT we are leaving. LeT us noT bid a care- less goodbye To all our cherished memories. LeT us raTher sTore Those memories. There undoubTedly will be occasion To refer To Them. LeT us keep Them in order. BuT as To The fufure, we musT have faifh, and wiTh open eyes, go forward. Leo Gold Senior PresidenT
