June may- be the traditionally
popular month for brides, but it
also has another yearly’ connota­
tion. Graduates and graduation.
Graduation is an importan'
mile-stone in one’s life. It means
the completion of the prepara­
tory7 phase of our lives, a groom­
ing before we take our place in
society.
And when June comes around
every7 year, graduates are sprung
from countless institutions into
the world. Amidst them are hun­
dreds of Niseis armed with dip­
lomas from high school, colleges
and universities to find their stations in the present social and
economic order.
It is a momentous time in our
lives.
