Ras’ first serious day. Mike and Shaheen witness another defeat. Phil releases some tension on Lisa. Not A Moment Too Soon! University High School’s special program for gifted and talented students has produced yet another class of scholars. Of the fifty-nine graduates, seventeen students, having entered in the seventh grade, have attended University High for six years. Having been exposed to a high school atmoshere at an early age, these young people were required to take courses such as Algebra, Foreign Language, and Typing. Now that graduation time is here again, we are honored to give recognition to the students who have “hung in there” with determination to succeed in a college-bound curriculum for six years. And so the family of University High School congratulates you on years of hard work and fortitude. Although you may feel your time has come and “Not A Moment Too Soon”, we will miss you. Front-M.
