Involvement in school activities is just as im- portant as the academic aspect of school life. If one does not participate in school events, one soon begins to feel that school is synonymous with books, tests and assignments. Of course we do go to school to learn, but there is so much more to school than scholastic p-rocedures and lessons. Participation in extracurricular activities makes school life more pleasurable and memorable. It has always been said that, "Your school days are the best years of your life." Most of us don't • realize this until they are nearly over. It is important to be actively involved in life. Don't sit on the sidelines, watching life pass by. Get involved; make life more exciting. As I look back on the happy years I've spent at this school, I wished that I could return for yet another year. But as we know, life doesn't •Siand still and we wouldn't want it to once we really thought about it. Life is only interesting if we're ex- periencing new things and travelling in new directions. It might be easier to stand still and live in a rut, but it's much more exciting to strike out in new directions: As yet unconquered, the future beckons to us and offers a challenge. May we accept that challenge and be confident in ourselves that we can accomplish what it is that we set out to do. Our years at CHSS have taught us much - much more than couldbe written on a test paper or than could be read from a text book. ,We have experienced both sUccess and failure. It is to our benefit if we learn from past experiences, whether they be mistakes of ac- complishments. Armed with this knowledge and some common sense, we can. tackle any future challenge that comes our way. Let us not shrink from the future but let us try new things and be ready for new ex- periences. Whatever ex- perience we may pass through, we will learn something new. Life is a continued learning process. Whatever you set out to do, do your best. If you fail,. you'll realize that it wasn't because you didn't try hard enough. Don't attempt the impossible. Set your goals high enough that you will be facing a challenge btit Tow enough that they will be within your reach. • Don't go along with the crowd just because that is the thing to be doing. Be an individual. Do what you want to do and what you feel is right. It's your life. Don't let another live it for you. The following poem by an unknown author briefly sums up life: Yesterday is only a dream, And tomorrow is only a vision, But today well -lived, Makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, And every tomorrow a vision of hope. . Expressed in this poem is the idea that today is im- portant. Yesterday is gone; tomorrow has yet to come. Today is within our grasp. Realistically, we know that we can't live in either the past or the future; we must live sach day as it comes. It 'is a well-known belief that, "You only get out of life what you put into it." Let's be the ones who put forth our best effort. Let's make it wor- thwhile. This is an evening of celebration a celebration of our accomplishments up to Ihis point in time. So far in life, we have achieved much. tet us hope that we continue to make further . 'ac- complishments in th(days to oome..
