MbMORIAL HiGH SCHOOL Thre ilakmad alll: clday WWGFCL 'Tis diploma time again. As your principal signs the many diplomas, he has time to think what a diploma means generally and what it may mean to each of the members of the class. The diploma must mean something to employers because, for many kinds of work, the diploma is required. It is no wonder employers prefer high school graduates when one realizes these persons have completed more than two thousand separate assignments for various teachers. They have attended school hundreds of days, an achievement which is much like holding a steady job for four years. Such accomplishment is evidence of some degree of dependability and is proof that one has learned to work with many people. The opportunities of raking responsibility for, and becoming a leader in, school activities is also important to employers. There are many advantages of guidance in education, vocational, and personal problems which the non-graduate does not enjoy. Whztt the diploma means to each individual, that person himself knows best. lt may mean that he won the diploma as easily as possible, The certi- hcate may mean that he did his best and that he took advantage of his opportunities to be somebody. School records measure the quality of each one's work. Graduation to all marks the commencement of something greater-- higher education or the beginning of one's life work. In any case, the diploma is a challenge to each graduate to live up to what is expected of the person who has had the advantages of a high-school education.
