On May 27, commence
ment exercises will be
conducted here at
Highacres.
"Commencement" is a
term that frequently
takes on various mean
ings to different people.
For some, it means "the
end." No more
headaches with school
work or class scheduling.
You are finally free to do
as you please without
having any academic
restrictions placed on
you.
A person of this opinion
is not likely to go very far
in life. Since Americans,
to the most part, ‘ are
success-oriented today, a

as a college graduate
without any goals or
aspirations for the future
certainly does not con
form thrthis model.
Commencement, ac
cording to its dictionary
definition, though, is the
beginning. For college
graduates, this is the
time when life "in the
real world" is finally a
reality.
It is a new beginning
and a chance to prove
your worth not only to
yourself as an individual,
but also to society and.
the world in which you
live.
Students will leave
Highacres with a
number of various
degrees ranging from
Business to Engineering
and Sociology.
Hopefully, - the
graduates of this campus
will seriously reflect on
their education here and
make a wise career deci
sion possibly a selec
tion that will influence
the remainder of their
lives.
It is unfortunate that
every student leaving the
universities nationwide
cannot walk into a career
that he studied so hard to
prepare for. Labor
market trends show that
this is not always possi
ble. Jobs are in demand,
now, and the 'B2
graduate may have to
settle for a career out
side of his major tem
porarily.
- Don't be discouraged.
Hard work and dedica
tion will assist anybody
in working his way up the
ladder of success. It will
just be a matter of time
and perseverance.
