-r we 35 C9719 Show must Q0 C911 Life with Father was a play which broke all Broadway records for its long rung Life at julia Richman High School is a performance with an even longer record. Each season brings changes in the cast, shifts of scenery, and minor modification of the script, but the drama is the same. The action has included both comedy and tragedy. Perhaps our parents would tell us we don't even know the meaning of the word tragedy, but that time we failed the mid-term test or became involved in a minor altercation with one of our teachers fwho, we now realize, was unbelievably patientj it seemed as if life wasn't worth living any longer. Then would come the pleasures, and no longer would life seem so black. Each of our classes, with its, many humorous incidents, has been a study in human comedy. The Music Festival, the Water Ballet, the Assembly programs, the Country Fair, and, most important of all, Red Letter Day are episodes which have contributed to our enjoyment of school. ' However, though our school days have been pleasant, in many respects our lives until now have been little more than dress rehearsals to get us ready for the future. We are about to make our formal entrances into the world. Some, with Great Expectations, will go on to college. Here are the future teachers, scientists, and authors. There are probably some who have as their goal a life in politics. QPerhaps the first woman President will come from this January, 1949, graduat- ing class.j Not all will continue with their formal education. Many will go on to gain actual experience as career women. These are bud- ding oflice managers, private secretaries, buyers, and maybe some com- pany heads. A few will soon assume the part that most of us hope for eventually-that of homemaker and wife. Until now, we have been guided in all our actions by our parents and teachers. It has been only by their patient efforts, tirelessly leading us on, that we have learned our parts and, we sincerely hope, learned them well. We shall miss the Firm guidance of these competent direc- tors. It may be hard at first to take the initiative and carry on alone. But We shall be able to do it because of the training we have had to help us attain the goal of Julia Richman High School: to become healthy, intelligent, economically able, social minded, charming and idealistic. We hold no illusions as to what the future holds for usp we know that to reach stardom in life will take hard and serious work, and that we must be always willing to accept the promptings of those wiser and more experienced than we. One thing we shall remember, no matter what part we shall play in this drama of life and that is . . . the show must go on. 3
