DOGR c. at.. as a. fl i I 4 l I r I i il, i F 'P 4 X X i l I XXX! N b X' , T We live in a world of symbols and representa- tions: flags for nations and idealsg maps for land area, the Seder plate symbolizing sacrifices and the story of Passover, and architectural blueprints repre- senting all the buildings man has created. Within these buildings the opening and closing doors, the most prosaic of daily actions, holds much meaning for us as we stand on the threshold of graduation. For most of us it was seventeen or eighteen years ago when our personal doors, the doors to the pal- ace of life, were opened. In time we shall return to the place whence we came, but, hopefully, not with- out taking a long look around, and wondering at and perhaps learning a little of the mystery of life. When we first came into the world, we were shown around the rooms of innocent infancy, the rooms which love pervaded completely, for no fears, pressures or prejudices were permitted to enter. There were no tensions in our first five years, no worries or responsibilities. We can remember this period only in a hazy way, but we can appreciate it because we shall never be able to relive it. The doors of in- fancy were closed to us the moment we stepped into first grade. Throughout our elementary school education, we opened doors to many classrooms and the infinite suites and wings of knowledge. Our teachers hurled facts and ideas at us in an effort to broaden our scopes in both religious and secular fields. Then we took another stride forward as time closed the elementary school door for us, opening those bronze portals on Amsterdam Avenue, those guar- dians of the edifice which houses Yeshiva University High School. Here, too, both literally and figura- tively, doors were opened and closed: doors to the classrooms of teachers, study, and examinations, doors to the office which held at times pleasant and unpleas- ant surprises for us, doors to the Beis Medrash, auditorium, cafeteria and gym, and doors to the guid- ance oliice where the course of our futures may well have been charted. With the gates of childhood firmly shut, we opened in high school another series of doors in our path to maturity.
