THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD Hi EDITORIALS CHALLENGE OF THE FUTURE Life ' s crystal ball is cloudy to those who do not know how to tell the future. Perhaps it is just as well, since the future might hold a number of dark moments. However, the future is so uncertain that we must be prepared to take the good with the bad and be content with those things that are material which we can help to improve. What does the future hold for you, the graduates of the class of 1953? Are you planning a career, or are you willing to let Fate lead your life? Fate can be wrong; therefore, it is up to you to decide what your life will be like when you leave high school. Until graduation, your life has revolved around the school, a limited number of people in the community, and a routine that has been much the same for the past twelve years. But as you go out to make a place for yourself in the world, you actually begin a new phase or chapter of your life. You will meet new circumstances, new people, an unlimited number of influences, and new challenges. Thus in this new environment you set out to find your fortune, to take up a career, or to settle down to a job. Each persen tries to accomplish the objective he has planned for himself, but there are not many who actually reach their goal. For instance, in college you may prepare for a profusion that you think you have always wanted, such as medicine, nursing, teaching or engineering; but after a few attempts, the course is not what you had expected and you change to some thing else. It may not be the course that does not appeal to you; it may well be the necessary studying and training that are required for the course. As a result, nothing seems interesting and appealing to you and you leave college to take a job. perhaps in an office or factory, only to find that that is not very interesting either. What new, you wonder, in your discouragement. The answer lies within yourself. You must study yourself and your interests, and then remember that interest is often created by the individual ' s willingness to make the future interesting. The same is true of a position in an office or any other job. If a person does not try to create interest in anything, he may be considered a failure and the world has no room for a failure. Only when a person realizes this, does he beg n to take notice of things that were once dull and uninteresting to him. Soon, graduation will be close at hand and commencement exercises will begin. Commencement does not mean the end of learning, but rather the beginning or commencing of new friendships, new experiences, new learning in the ' chool of life. What are ycu ready to commence? If you have put off making a decision, you can wait no longer. This applies not only to the graduate but to every high school r tudent. New is the time to decide what your place in the future will be. Mary Simonetta ' 54
