We Honor the Seniors The fourth year of high school represents the highest level of public education in America. All of the schooling which has gone on before, from the first grade up, has been directed toward each student’s graduation from high school. He is then a piece of clay, shaped by the hand of education—so to speak—and ready for the kiln of society. True, some pieces stop when they are still imperfect” and others go on to receive more expert craftsmanship so they will become better products. But the majority of pieces finish in the same stage—that of graduation from high school. There is a great difference, though, between you and a lump of clay. The clay has to depend on some outside force to mold it into shape, but each person molds his own life, society furnishing him the tools. Therefore this twelfth and last year of general public education is of the greatest importance. From the beginning of the freshman year until graduation, one goes through many changes. He enters, almost a child, and departs practically an adult. During that time, he usually starts driving, dating, and earning money. He makes more decisions and becomes more farsighted. The senior year especially presents new challenges, responsibilities, and difficulties. No longer will you be pushed and coaxed to get things done. Society almost has done its job of preparing you for the first firing. It will be up to you now. In the senior year competition has become intensified— scholarships, recognition in sports, and many other honors and positions. Yet this is only a preview of the real competition you will find when getting a job or studying in college or doing anything else in life. Courses in citizenship, positions on school publications, clubs, and organizations—all are a final effort on the part of the school to make you a well-rounded, well-balanced individual. Only finishing touches can be made this year, before the firing of the piece. Let’s hope all of the seniors make the most of it. ALAN HARROD
