Show CONGRATULATIONS GRADUATES This week saw several hundred young men and women receive their diplomas from five High Schools in the Uintah I Basin. As each one marched' proudly across the stand to receive his coveted diploma from the hand of a school official, his heart' beat a little faster, an experience brought about because of mingled feelings of anticipation for the future, and fright in facing such a large group of admiring friends and neighbors. There is nothing that can compare with the feeling of hope that a young graduate feels in his heart as he suddenly turns his face toward a new world. . . A world that offers tremendous challenges and opportunities to the person who is willing to accept the challenge and apply himself to the great task ahead. . . It's a glorious realization that in this great land of America, children are born with equal opportunities to enjoy the advantages of a free world. A recent speaker locally, who is an experienced engineer, made rather a significant statement, that each graduate could well afford to give thought to. He said that with the coming i of the Upper Colorado River development to the Basin, every j young man who wanted to study engineering could, upon com- pletion of his course, return home and be assured of a job for I the remainder of his life. j Engineering is only one of the great field's where the de- I mand is much greater than the supply. There is always room at the top for men and women in any field. Therefore, it is of tremendous importance that each graduate make a thorough and intense study of the various fields of endeavor before he decides which road to follow as he prepares to meet that new life that awaits every high school senior on graduation day. We congratulate each graduate and wish him the best of luck in the new field that awaits him as he departs from the familiar halls of high school learning. |
