£.•,. ' The point made is an excellent one. Have
, not the ceremonies And special affairs sur-
rounding high school graduation reached a
point wnere ilioy don't make much sense?
There are mighty few adults who lavish
$100 on an evening out, no matter what tney
are celebrating. Most grown people just can't
aitorri sucn a uixi>ry.
Public schools today are being scrutin-
ized careiully, and one of the most frequent
enuclams heard ia that tney (at tho nigh
school level) have far too much "country
CIUD aiinospnere."
The expenditure of f 100 more or less for
a night on tne town certainly suggests that
tuoie critics who complain ot the unrealistic
attitude ot our pre&ent-aay educational sys-
tem have a good point.
How do you stop this over-elaborate, over-
expensive Kind of dung; it isn't up to the
hign ictiool faculty, lhese things are generally
forced on the teachers by some parents.
Sensible patents call easily put- their col-
lective foot down if they want to do so JUaybe
this is an excellent tune for them to do it
Nobody objects to sensible fun surround-
ing high school graduation, of course. But
mark that word, sensible. It is hardly sensible
for adults to arrange such high-priced parties
for very young people.

It's no wonder you and I ore frightened.
Ever since we were old enough to reason, we
Iiave been steins' the world through dark"
glasses. Ifs just as Paul said; - ~ * ,
"Now we see through a glass, darkly;
but then face to face." ;
We spend our years wondering why things
happen as they do ... why hatred flonriflhea
snd love wither*... why. sorrow seems inevita-
ble and ioy so rare. Apparently, we were not
meant to understand .. I Votherel
Some truths God has revealed to us; these
our Churches teach. Other truths God will not,
reveal until another day; to prepare lis for that •
day our Churches strive. ;
Until at length we gain that complete vision, .
we are happiest mid strongest when wa live
faithfully in the troth already revealed. Even -
with dark glasses • man can see as long s»kbe
