refledions . . . Today is graduation day. Every heart is touched with emotion, every mind is alive and thoughtful, wondering what to expect, thinking of what the mean- ing of the past three years has been. A senior stands waiting for the exercises to begin, steeped in the twilight air of the event,,he is moved to on unusual pensiveness. Those three years really hurried by. But they were probably important ones, too. A complex maze of emotions, reactions, developments, they were the last few bricks of our foundation to be laid in place. Now it's all over, the hard work, the ioys, the troubles, and the end is in sight. I've put forth a great deal of effort toward this end. Why? A trip down the aisle, a small piece of parchment, and a handshake of con- gratulations? Congratulations for what? Just what does this mean, what have I gained from these three years of work? Inside the auditorium the band sings a mellow, full-voiced song. Strangely moving, the slow, strident cadence strikes deep.
