She is taking her place in line with the others, Who are all saying good-bye to their mothers. Who is this person the others call teacher? I like Mommy better, she's not a preacher. This is only the first big step, W Her elementary education has iust begun. Learning reading, writing and the like, School is an adventure-interesting and fun. As this little miss completes this phase of hervllfe, I She knows little of worldly trouble and strife. While learning of people, places and things, V, She even wished, perhaps, that she hadlwingsfl This adolescent enters high school with the right perspective. She plans to work hard, 'cause college is her obiective. High school is both challenging and'new, The clubs, the activities ot the Red and Blue. The structure of the school is so immense,! .

At the writing of this article, several students were waiting hopefully for notification of other pending scholarship awards. Now that these students have obtained their monetary and scholastic riches as learned individuals, it is hoped that many will consider Ben Franklin's terse words in connection with all future educational pursuits for intellectual riches : Virtue and wisdom are the only riches over which neither thieves nor fortune have any power. For if a man empties his purse into his head, no man may take it away from him. An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest. lt is the confident belief of fellow teachers, parents and friends, that all will expend their knowledgeable l'riches wisely, and will emerge as the future formulators of the fate of the Nation.
