THURSDAY, MAY 26, 1955
Congra tu la lions
One often wonders just what goes
through a student’s mind, and heart, as he
steps up to receive his degree at commence
ment exercises.
Of course, the only one’s wondering are
the ones who are wondering when they will
be getting their diplomas.
But the graduates have reached that mile
stone in their careers, and are now ready to
go ou£ into the world and make their living.
A lot of experiences are behind them, but
the future promises ever so much more.
Most of them face military service; some will
adjust to it, taking it as a “necessary part of
life,” and some will become embittered at
having their lives interrupted.
The big job lies ahead, whether it’s mili
tary or a job in civilian life. If the gradu
ates have got out of A&M what they could,
“making a go” of life will not be as tough.
In school or out, the old saying still ap
plies. “What you get out of something de
pends upon how much you put in it.”
Those that are graduating will always
look back upon this period of their lives with
fond tnemories. Time diminishes the unpleas
ant events and puts a more brilliant gleam on
those that were pleasurable. But a certain
feeling of regret will always linger if a per
son knows he did not do his best.
That first step tomorrow night toward
the platform is the biggest step the gradu
ates of 1955 will have thus far taken. But,
if they have prepared themselves for this
step by taking advantage of their opportuni
ties at A&M, the rest of the steps will be
much easier.
