14 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD EDITORIALS A THOUGHT FOR THE SENIORS AND UNDERGRADUATES This is a memorable year for the Seniors of Windsor Locks High School. These young men and women are leaving the sheltered streams of childhood to venture on the oceans of adulthood. Until now they have been aided and guided by parents, teachers, and friends, and for this they are grateful, but now they are eager to start charting their own voyage in life. Some will go to college but others will go into business, industry, and other vocations. But all will continue their education through reading and working. Seme will find success in life; others may not be so fortunate, but whatever the cutcome may be, the success or failure depends largely on the per¬ son himself. Yes, this is the year for the Seniors cf Windsor Locks High School. They have new come to the time when they must decide what fields in life they will enter, and careful study of one’s interests and abilities, along with good preparation, will help to insure future success. With these thoughts in mind the Juniors, who still have one year of their high school life left, should profit from this advice and do their best to complete their preparation for their life work. It is important that they choose the right subjects because the preparations made now will have a great deal to do with their whole life. The Sophomores have completed just half their high school life. Although at present they may feel it is a long time to their graduation, the way they spend their high school days and the subjects they choose are important factors in their later life. So they, too, must prepare themselves for their life work. The Freshmen, just beginning high school life, probably feel they have a long time before they need to consider seriously their life occupations. But they can make a better and mere successful life for themselves by the judgment they show in choosing their subjects during the next few years. Thus while the Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen are planning for the day when they must begin earning a living for themselves, this year, 1949, is the year for the Seniors of Windsor Locks High School to prove their worth. Our best wishes and hopes for continued success go with them. Nancy Shaughnkssy ’51 THE GRADUATE There seems to be a difference of opinion as to the definition of the term grad¬ uate”. Webster says a graduate is cne on whom a degree is conferred. To some so- called students, graduation can be summed up in the old saying, ’’No more pencils, no more books,’’ etc. Most people, however, regard graduation as a sign cf maturity, a goal reached, or a passport to a better future. Graduation or commencement is the beginning of these things. Numerous fields are open to the person with the diploma, for he is generally preferred to the person without it. VO Page
