whole year seems filled withfamusement. At the end of the term, when commencement draws near, you feel that sense of lonely- ness creep over you as you think of leaving those classmates who you have been with through the four years spent in high school. You wish that there was only a few more years that you could be with them as you think about drifting out into the world among strangers. But the only thing to do is grit your teeth and step out as if you knew everybody and everybody knew you. This world is full of hardships and you must meet them as they fome and 'conquer them if you wish to succeed. -44-
