I t -,I ll In 1. S -I . R 1 We Face the Challenge! Through these portals to face the challenge of the future have passed nearly four thousand graduates of Stevens High School. Are we ready to face the challenge? That is the most pertinent question when graduation draws near. The Class of 1959, perhaps more than the classes of the past, because of the high standards of today has a greater task and a heavier responsibility for fully answering this challenging ques- tion. Upon our graduation from High School, we shall have completed the main step in our preparation towards facing the challenge. During the past twelve years, we the graduates, have furthered our knowledge yearly to a greater extent. We started by learning the basic fundamentals of the three Ris. Through the use of these fundamentals, we gradually began to understand the people and the many ac- tivities going on around us each day. As the years progressed and our knowledge increased, we encountered many new ex- periences as we became participants in our nation's program. As Seniors, we now begin to realize how important this earlier schooling has been and how much it has contributed to our present status. Although our present standing is largely due to our past schooling, the urge for higher edu- cation had to be present. When one grad- uates and receives a diploma, he has achieved a worthy goal. Graduation is like the trunk of a tree with its many outreaching branches. A graduate wishes to climb to the top but finds many obstacles along his way. On the pathway to success one often makes many wrong decisions which must be re- considered and often changed. The num- ber of opportunities is great and must be carefully observed so that one may obtain the position that suits him best. Many of us will take additional steps to achieve these positions by attending college or other schools of advanced learning. Others will fulfill their obligation to their country by entering the service First before decid- ing on any definite occupation or field of work whereas some immediately begin working on their particular career or field of interest. Because of individualism, many various lields are being expanded or dis- covered through the research, progress, and advancement of the people. A college diploma represents an exten- sive amount of hard work. It is also a very high grade of education and a key to a successful life. Many advantages accom- pany one who has received such a degree. In this day and age, the standards of em- ployment are largely based upon the amount of education one has received.
