Mean Time To Reckon
The time of reckoning with yourself is here. With the
passing of the fourth six weeks the time to save yourself from
the -disappointment and embarassment of failure has come.
For many, the underclassmen, the final two six weeks of
■ the year will determine whether another credit is achieved to-
ward the ultimate goal of high school: graduation.
v As for the senios classmen that final step is within three
months of the goal. The final three months of a twelve - year
stretch. But, if needed credits are not obtained one may find
himself set back in life another year or in the disillusionment
of a dropout. Your future is et stake.
If your grades are lacking then now is the time to act.
Remember: The future you sa e may be your own.
