And well-armed they will have to be to survive, for the world is a knight errant schooled in deceit, delusion, and dissipation. Every thrust of the lance of evil will have to be met with a counterthrust of the sword and buckler of good and fortitude. ul' ic 'k it The Senior Class will find itself constantly frustrated by the banalities of a crass, indifferent world in the years ahead. But their training under the auspices of God will enable them
