Likewise graduation is merely a word used to indicate completion of a prescribed course of study There are varying degrees of graduation as being final. Strive to be progressing in some field of endeavor, do not be satisfied to be merely a link in a chain, put forth every effort possible to advance yourself above the average person. Select a vocation that you are really in- terested in and put forth a diligent effort to become one of the outstanding persons in your field. as you spend years preparing yourself for life, it is also advisable to spend some of this time in just living because some people forget to live while they are getting themselves prepared for life. May the graduates of Rockdale for 1953 have only the best in life.
