HE launching program is under way. The air breathes with excitement as the restless crowd waits eagerly to see the ship plunge into the water. After a few prefatory remarks by the dig- nitaries, the signal is given, and the trigger pin coordinates with the crash of a champagne bottle. The great ship slides easily into the water. The drag chains indicate that she is subject to final work on shore. Tugs meet the ship and maneuver her into position at the outfitting dock. She is not ready for the sea, yet. The newly-launched ship is simply able to float. Valuable machinery and other vital parts have yet to be added. A great deal more work and time will be required before she will be able to control herself safely and capably. The graduating senior at commencement exercises is bid farewell with the gala program and best wishes of the speakers. But after the day is over and the real commencement begins, like the ship, he needs the careful management and guidance necessary for his initial expe- rience in the great sea of life. The senior in the school occupies the coveted position of top man. He has faced the joys and trials of high school life and has emerged successfully. He is ready for the outside world but, at the same time, senses the need for clear thinking, good judgment, and experienced guidance.
