Many of the dreams woven in the minds of the eight-graders were ful-filled, Perhaps a few were not. In like manner, many of the ambitions that are now being formed may either one day take shape or never be fulfilled. The manner in which the graduate meets each success or accepts each failure will determine the ultimate success or failure of his entire life.
