S. ALDEN PENDLETON JOHN J. ALBANI Editorial For nearly twelve years we, as a class, have meandered contentedly on our way to the outside world. School work has at times proved boring, school companionships sometimes not all they should be. We’ve led a highly dramatic life, doing our best to imitate those men and women of the world about whom we read, or whom we see in the pictures. We’ve lived a life of stark realism at times, of petty bickerings at times, of blissful content and bitter sorrow in their turn. High spots and low spots, the exper- iences of us all. Now at last we are to leave this sheltered corner of life’s stage. We’re no longer rehearsing, with only the cast and director watching. Henceforth we are to be in the centre of the stage where the bitter winds blow. We will no longer be able to hear the promptings of our directors. And it is up to us to remember the lines we’ve learned here in school’s rehearsal. We go out June 12 to speak briefly our little piece to the guardian audience before we are summoned away forever. Some of us will rise like meteors to burn an immortal place in the pages of history, others will give off a steady glow before dying out. But no matter what our place in the Hall of Fame, we will all recite our passages with the best that is in us, in an endeavor to bring credit to that institution in which we re- hearsed, and which we shall always hold dear in our memories.
