4 A A a The Garnet and White (graduation SEVERAL people have asked me recently whether or not I am glad I am gradu- ating from high school this year. At my reply, that I am not, they are very much surprised and cannot understand me. However, I can remember when I asked other seniors that same question, and, on receiving that same answer, I, too, was puzzled and could not understand them. Now, however, that I have become a senior and shall soon take that fatal step of Graduation, I too, am not at all anxious to go. Even up to the beginning of this last year I was ready to go—I was a senior and this was my home stretch I'd soon be through. A little more than a month from the writing of these thoughts I shall have graduated from high school. The gates will have closed, and I shall be leaving my high school days behind me and starting into a new, undiscovered land, my future. I am not at all ready or anxious to go. I know I shall miss the clubs and the acti- vities of which I have been a part; the chapel programs; dancing in the gym at noon; my teachers and their helpfulness; noisy little groups of gossips; study periods; parties and gatherings that we've had; and last, but not least, all the friends I have made. After graduation we Seniors shall all go our separate ways. Whether we meet again will be left to fate. Some friends I shall leave behind me, and I hope that they will feel as I do. I shall miss my books, too. Have they not been my friends? What should I have done without them? Haven't they prepared me as well as they could for my future life? I think you’ll find almost any senior feels the way I do, if he really thinks about it; and I’m sure most of you undergraduates will feel the same way when your time comes to say goodbye to West Chester High. Make the best of your school days (I may sound like an old maid, but I mean it); for they’re your happiest! Adelaide Reynolds, '35. ◄-+-4---► (To tli? Class of 35 i, n.
