Grad u o tion (grtij'oo-a'shen) n. 1. The con- ferring or receipt of an aca- demic degree or diploma. 2. A commencement ceremony. 3. A division mark or interval on a graduated scale. 4. Division into stages or degrees. Upon graduation one has to go out and face the big world, and for some it is not an easy task. Some friends say their good-byes at school because they realize that they ore going their own ways to earn o good living, maybe study further for a degree or even the possibility of storting a family. The idea of earning a living may not be on easy one in the way of having to look for a job that pays o decent salary, within distance of your home, great working con- ditions and suitable benefits. Some will join the Military Service and make a living out of that. The scope is so wide that it could be never ending for others. More and more positions are being made ovailible to women and yet there are others where the computer has taken con- trol. Studying further involves a large amount of learning and putting your mind to good use. A degree is some- thing to be proud of and an honor no one can steal away from you. The choice of what you want to specialize in is one of the decision one has to make along the way, friends and people in the business world could assist you but the final choice is going to be yours. How about your hand in marriage? If the man has o good position then the lady of the house is able to stay at home, maybe find a part time job or become a dedicated house wife. Traditionally, a home is where the ladies place is, but times are changing and more women are wanting to work as well as the man. Well, seniors the time has come for that step. The choice has to be the right one. Let's make it a good and solid step into a better future and life for all to live in. Graduation also involves other aspects. Seniors could order mugs, announcements, albums, or cards to celebrate their lost yeor of high school. 20
