CONTEMPLATING OUR GRADUATES

The schools of the nation are closing
their doors once again and the advent of
commencement brings many young men
and women to the Threshold of a great
venture in living
For number of years they have pur
sued the paths of learning, picking up in
formation and experience through various
school years, and row, at last, they receive
their diplomas and step into the world of
gr0wn-ups
They will find it vastly different from
the environment in which they have been
nurtured There will be no assignment of
particular tasks, with success surely
browning the efforts of those who think
and do well. In life, unlike in school.
mcritorious performance is not always
crowned with success and laurels.
The Key West High. School is grad
uatirg fine crop Of young men and
women Many of them will continue their
education at college but some will not
have that privilege. They will GO forth
Immediately to seek their economic for
tunes in business endeavor, battling the
various forces that operate in the struggle
for profits.
These Of our graduates who have the
opportunity of attending college are for
tunate only if they make use of the addi-
tional education advantages that come to
them. Certainly the training that college
life affords is worth what it costs, in time
and money, but these benefits do not flow
automatically into the being of the stu
dent. They must be earned.
The graduates who have no chance to
continue their studies in colleges or special
schools need not accept any inferiority
complex in regards to their classmates who
study longer. While it is not to be denied
that some advantage accrueS to college
trained individuals, this is not conclusive in
the struggle that engages adults in the full
ness of their existence.
The Citizen wishes to congratulate
the students of our high school who COM
plete their courses this year and, at the
same time, to extend Fluctuations to those
of this county who complete their college
careers. May all of them play the game
of life fairly, earning just rewards and re-
jOicing in the similar success of their fell
lowmen.

What daddy took his small son
to the beach this week to play
with a model airplane and had a
marvellous time launching it into
the air; and when small son
drifted away from the scene, just
bored with watching, what daddy
didn't even notice?
We can understand the i'm
pulse that prompted a person to
take our pocketbook and money
enc day last week, and we were
family complimented when the
product of our labors in the form
of plaster animals were stolen
the week before, but we were
really aroused to anger Tuesday
night of last week when our just
delivered copy of The Key West
Citizen was lifted.

You may steal my books or grub
or money,
And it will not make nne very
mad;
But there's one thing you can't
take, my honey,
Someone stole the only heart

Auto speeders are their own
worst enemies. Consider one Of
the things they miss seeing in
their haste. An acquaintance of
ours, a shapely lassie. sun-bathes
in the altogether within distant
eye-shot CT a bridge. We won't
tell which bridge, so save your
postage and do not write TO ask.
But this sun-tanned worshiper
of Old Sol swears that cars drive
across that particular bridge al
snail's-pace.
A recent news story told about
a life-size photo of a little girl
imposed on a sign board and
used as a warning marker for
autoists to indicate that they are
approaching a school section and
must slow down. D'you suppose
a life-siZe photo of bathing
beauty, on sharp curves, would
work as well?
