After Graduation -- What? As the class of 1951 comes to the conclusion of its high school career and graduation draws near, we, as do all high school seniors, begin to wonder, and to worry, and to plan more seriously than ever before.. Many of us will attend college, others will enlist or be drafted into the service, and still others will be faced with the age old problem of where and how to find a job- not just A job, but the right job. No examination question can be tougher than the one you ask yourself, After graduation-what? Our senior year is a climax and also a turning point, and we should have turned it into a testing ground for the new work attitudes and tech- niques we will need months hence in college or on the job. If we want to avoid painful adjustments, then we should have really worked hard at being a senior. We aren't talking about needing the grades for college entrance or a good job recommendation. We are talking about the sense of personal responsibilities we'll need after graduation. In high school we are constrained. Home-work is assigned to us, we are given exact deadlines for compositions and speeches and our teachers remind us of them a few days before, and though we may think longingly of greater freedom, strict standards keep us busy. When we are out of high school we won't be operating within any such framework. Success must come through our own efforts. Discipline is still necessary, but it must be self-discipline. Personal development and growth bring recog- nition, and being prepared insures success. To a great degree we are architects and builders of our own fortunes, and architects and builders make plans and specifications before they begin work. After the foundation is laid the superstructure is built upon it and it cannot be otherwise in the building of character and success. We remember our heritage as Americans, New Englanders and Ply- mouthiansg we appreciate the advantages provided by our public school system and will go forward, making the most of our opportunities and responsibilities in the building of a new heritage for future citizens of the World.
