Don? forget to replace all divits! I Il une ls Here Another year has passed away and june again is here We've reached the gate at last. Hooray! Commencement Day is near. But let us take just one more glance, give one more rousing cheer To the days through which we've gaily danced! To our memories so dear! At times the years through which welve passed may dull. and dreary seem, Yet through it all our bright class colors, flame and silver, gleam To guide our every action, and to light our every dream Of things we hope and plan to do, our every little scheme. Here at the gate of life we stand so very soon to part, And time has flown on silver wings which touch our very hearts. We know we all have soon to make a new, a clean, fresh start, But hesitate to walk the path of which we've made a chart. We hope to see our classmates all succeed and reach life's goal, Although the upward road is rough and full of pits and holes. We're sad to leave dear Lockport High where we've been so long enrolled, But soon there'll be another class, so she will be consoled. We stand, as many others have, on this Commencement Day With hearts so heavy and so sad, and trying to be gay, We pray that clouds will not appear to make our skies all gray And blot from view our star of hope to guide us on our way. But now the year has passed away and June again is here We've reached the gate at last. Hooray! Commencement Day is near, So after taking one last glance, let's give a rousing cheer To the days through which we've gaily danced! To our memories so dear! Rita M. Disinger, SS

Editorials PROGRESS ' In these days of upheavel throughout the world everyone is calling for a change. Radical changes are being made in every way. The mode of travel is changing and improved methods in the professions, industry, agriculture and gov- ernment have been adopted. As these fields have changed, so has that of publi- cation. New processes have been developed in printing and in the style of publi- cation. To keep up with these changes and present to you a more up to date and more beautiful magazine, the Forum', has effected several departures from custom in its set-up for this issue. In it we find less written material and more pictures arranged in an artistic manner. To accomplish this, many difficulties had to be overcome. It was a question of cutting space in some departments and of placing the pictures so that they would impart a more artistic tone to our magazine. Not only was there this difficulty but there was also that of cost, for of course we could not raise the price, and there was only a limited budget provided for pro- duction. All these difficulties were surmounted, however, and you now have the finish- ed product before you. This change has only been made after long and careful consideration on the part of the staff, faculty advisors and printer to give you a better Forum After all, it is your f'Forum and you are its critics, critics who will appreciate and welcome a change for the better.-Albert Clarke, '38, ..,....-Oil WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD FOR US? When we entered Lockport High School only four short years ago, we gave little thought to our future after graduating from high school. Someuof us had vague ideas of going to college but had not decided definitely which college to attend. The majority of us, however, have probably been looking forward to securing employment, and although we have chosen our courses accordingly, We have never given it serious attention. Now as seniors, the majority of us are about to step over the threshold of another world-that of experience. The question of real concern now is: What does the future hold for us as seniors? At present it does not look very promising. Conditions in the factories of Lockport in which many of our past graduates have found employment are very discouraging. Therefore, there is no longer this opportunity for some of 'I Page Thirty-two
