o , New York, N. Y. M e e February 26, 1942 Joyce dear, You wrote to me yesterday and asked me what it's like to be a graduate. I'll tell you! Being graduated is something wonderful and something ter- rible. It's something so big that it amazes you, and something so micro- scopic, that, when you think about it in comparison with some of the really great things that have happened in this world, it means almost nothing. A few weeks before I graduated, I was certain that there was nothing more wonderful than getting out of high school, and getting rid of all the responsibilities that school requires. Today, I'm not so sure. I have to admit that it's still great fun to come home and not have to look forward to an evening spent doing homework. Then, again, part of the fun was the responsibility of homework and seeing that it was done every day. When I was at school, I never realized or appreciated the friendships and wholesome companionships that I made at Julia Richman. I never realized what fun it is to spend the better part of the day in the company and lively atmosphere of girls of my own age. My lunches downtown are not nearly so much fun as the lunches I partook of at Julia Richman. There I had so much to talk about, and so many girls who made ready listeners. My business life is so different from the life at school. Without my Julia Richman education, I wouldn't have been able to have secured the job I pow have. You know, as I look back, teachers are swell people to know. To tell you the truth, I wasn't prepared for the great amount of responsibility and care which was placed on my shoulders when I left school. I don't think I wanted to get used to the idea that now that I had graduated, it was up to me to live up to that diploma which I have hung up on the wall of my room. As a woman of the world fof one monthj I can tell you candidly and honestly, living up to the title of a high school graduate is not life tied up in blue and pink ribbons, but it is a challenge to the way of the world today. Now, I've told you what it's like to be a graduate. Oh, I forgot just one thing-this life gives me a chance to show every one that my four years of book learning, associations with people at school, homework and extra- curricular activities were not spent in vain. As one of the class of January, 1942, I have tried to show people that being a high school graduate isn't so bad after all. Love, LOUISE DUBIN 25
