BOUND FOR COLLEGE Realizing that education is an important asset in establishing one's self, Ponce students have ranked far above average in the country in pur- suing college educations. A follow-up-study that was inaugurated this year showed that sixty-four percent of the graduates of the past several years were now in college while the nation's average is from nine to Hfteen percent. The greatest number of these are studying in their hometown university-the University of Miami. Many have chosen col- leges within the state while others are studying in all parts of the country. A modern world requires modern minds. Ponce de Leon is alert in helping encourage and assist each student in selecting his college.
