This is the time. of Year when
hundreds of thousands of young
people across, the land have one
foot in 'the air, • ready to take a
big step, They . are the 'graduates.
It's a. little sad for us older ;folks

Finishing public school',. and
lust busting to '' get into high
school and be real teen -ager,
is the Grade 8 gang. .No nostal-
gia for them. They liked public'
school, but that's kid. stuff now,
and the sooner they're out, . the
' happier , they'll be.'
For the :boys, it means . they
will no longer be treated ,as chi'
`dren which . is the bane.• of', their
•'existence.. Now., they'll be 'stud
rents. It ' means they can : start
• sneaking • into . the poolroom;
shaving, giving their; parents a
tittle .more, lip,', and 'getting their
'hair:scut the way they°, want'. it.
It • also mean's 'pimples, paying
this' 'way to, the:: show, and the
first and: worst, experience with.
love; But they . don't ' -know that,

It's even more 'exciting for -the
girls ' leaving.' pulblic • 'school,. ` For
some reason, .girls in Grade 8
are a foot : taller •than boys in
Grade8. This makes love affairs
in. which .' girlsare interested

members of the. opposite , sex, '&
not • with . stunted:, demons wha.
wrestle 'them, push . them! trip
them; , punch , them , and mock
them. .
High school • .graduates: are . not
so ecstatic :about leaving. In,•
fact they're •'almost reluctant, in
many cases. They'd never admit
to' their parents, but they've had
'a ball:,:for he last four or five,
years.', Now the cord must he cut.
Friends, must` be left. ,The fainil

faceless. Within them lurks a: de-

For ' many of those leaving'
high school, .graduation is sur-
rounded by a• special,' rosy aura,
because they are in loye. It may
not be deep and lasting the stuff
that c xry them `through 50
years of esticity, but it's just
