And so the expanse of time has flown. Here it is already the "year of years"—
the time to take up and take on. No longer will the security of guidance and wisdom
be assured . . . it's every man for himself. The light of the future seems like a tiny,
naked flicker surrounded by a foreboding darkness, and you wish as hard as you can
that you could know what's ahead; you wish for the security of knowledge; you wish
for the depths of personal understanding and the wisdom of experience that the under-
standing brings. But there's no turning back the time . . . the diploma securely grasped
in the warmth of your palm signifies this. Is this the end? No, senior, it's the beginning
—the commencement of opportunity. With that diploma in hand, you can open the
doors to college, business, service, or whatever else you choose . . . there are things
to be done, places to travel, thoughts to be thought, lessons to be learned. And then,
all of a sudden, the beacons of the future will beckon you onward and upward.
