Every school and almost every grade has some kind of a graduation ceremony. People often come up to a reporter and say. "Don't you get sick of going to graduation ceremonies?" The answer is no, for the • simple reason that each graduation picture presents a challenge. The reporter must come up with an interesting angle or a different approach to try and make the graduates stand out. The speeches, when put in proper perspective, make: one envision a ship's send-off and its christening as it starts its new voyage, So too the teachers are readying the students for a new voyage to a new place and a new system. After the students are bolstered by the flattery, the time comes for each individual to put his or her sails up and voyage into new circumstances. Old friends are left behind and new friends will be made. It doesn't matter whether the students are graduating from nursery school to big school (Kindergarten), orfnom half a day to a full day of school in grade one. The same things hold true from grade eight' to high school: "build your future on your past." lathe words of Fran Craig, a teacher at St. Columban school, "God's. gift to you is life, your gift to God is what you do with it." To the many people who have asked me if we ever get sick of covering graduations, we hope this answers your question. Envision a ship's send-off Experience tells, however, that nursery school graduates are a little difficult to keep still. It is quite a chore for four-or five-year-olds to stay in .one place. But you would think theycould keep still for 1-500th of a second, the time it takes to snap one picture outside. Graduations always make one think back to a time when they were pounds lighter and a foot shorter. One hears what the teachers and principals tell the graduating classes today and remember what their teachers said to them when they went through the system. The same old lines are used, and the children I still flinch with every syllable as the teachers -recall some of the funnier events during the school year. ST.
