As The end OT This school year drew nearer, however, The ThoughT OT graduaTion OTTen occupied our minds. For some OT us, iT would mean a mere inTerim beTore we again would cOnTinue our educaTiOn. For mosT OT us iT would mean The respOnsibiliTy OT geTTing a iob and becoming a useTuI member OT socieTy. For all OT The class OT '50, iT would mean deparTing Trom a school which, Through The inTluence OT iTs TaculTy and sTudenT body, had helped To shape The personaIiTies OT iTs sTudenTs Tor Tour years OT Their mosT rapid physical and menTal develOpmenT. For mosT OT us iT would represenT The achievemenT OT a goal which had Taken considerable work. When The big nighT was Over, and The caps and gowns were laid away, The mulTiTude OT experiences aT ShasTa, some happy, some sad, will never be compleTely TOrgOTTen. FurThermore, we will look back wiTh nosTalgic pride and senTimenT on The high school which aTTOrded us so many splendid OppOrTuniTies To become worThwhile ciTizens OT a demOcraTic socieTy.
