Our Future Life Begins With a Single Step Bewildered as Freshmen, we began a new form of life. Why, we didn’t even know the fellow in the seat ahead of us— yet. With admiration in our eyes we looked to the up- per classmen for example, or secretly picked our favorite athlete. As Sophomores, many things were yet to be conquered as we continued on our journey. This year more became involved in extra-curricular as well as class activities. As Juniors, a sense of satisfaction filled us as we eagerly pursued our studies which we now realized were so es- sential. We were becoming older, and knew that soon, only too soon, our journey was to end. And then the day arrived. June 6, 1973. Graduation day for 98 Seniors. It seemed impossible that time had passed so quickly. We reached our uphill journey and felt the way mountain climbers would feel after they reached the top of the mountain, and sigh at the beauty of the scene they have so well deserved. Even though we have reached the top of one mountain, we have many more mountain tops to reach in our lifetimes. Class rings, diplomas, and graduation caps symbolize the leaving of a society of youth and entering a society of adults. Entering commencement ceremonies, A. Puhek and N. Zahorsky re- flect on all the wonderful years that have gone by. M. Groyza accept his diploma from School Board Pres., Mr. Hapak. as Principal, Mr. Kountoures, congratulates him. 23
