RALPH BURSELLA TRO Class Representativeg Sci- ence Squad. .IOSEPHINE CAROLEO EDITORIAL As we stand on the shore of adolescence, and look out over the sea of life, numerous experiences are recalled. We drift back to our younger days and think about the mischievous, innocent children we were, and how since then we have developed mentally as well as physically. Many factors are responsible for this noticeable development. Among the most prominent of these has been the impact of our high school years. A great transition occurred upon our entrance into high school, because it was at that time that we reached the major period of our maturity. During the past three or four years at Theodore Roosevelt, we have nurtured our minds with a wealth of information, a large portion of which we will soon forget. But more important than the academic knowledge we have acquired, we have gained much practical knowledge to help us under- stand our fellow man, and to make some of the involved problems life brings with it easier to solve. The wonder of taking on life was the basis upon which was erected an individual. Our personality, character, mannerisms, and opinions grow firm and stable, as we move closer to maturity. Our high school years were largely responsible for the opinions and personality traits we now bear. Upon graduation from high school, we face the future and decide how to use the information we have acquired. There is a world waiting to greet us, upon whose creation we had no influence, but whose continu- ance and further growth rests in our hands. It is we who make the de- cisions that may, and should prove monumental. In future years, as we sail along the sea of life, rough though it may be, we will cast a momentary glance back at the shore of adolescence, and we will be able to review our development and see the reasons that moti- vated us to act as we did. Our high school memories now become another chapter in our Book of Life. As we prepare'to set sail, we, the graduating class of 1965, are proud to have been a vital part of Roosevelt's life, as Roosevelt has been a vital part of our lives. Barbie Gurkin Editor-in-Chief
