'I'lK'n an many ojicnitigs in this ilay anil ago for enterprising yining men. Ilnl I think that a |R rson shnuhl take a position that ho i.s I lost fit toil fur. Considering this I holiovo that Andrew E'kow should join tin- army as In is just the sort of person needed to help pniloot our ooiinlry. Huh ('anlrvll Inis always displayed rare musical talent.

Yc all know Italpli Whittington hy his iuolination to argue with Mr Kell This tcmlenry may at miiiio time Ik- iK'uefieial to him for ho will make u groat |K litieiun in the future. Mary Hurt has always I icon popular iu school nnd of course her popularity will last after she has liuishoil school. I expect her to lie a society Ir'II ' iu her homo town. Stanley Durst, in the short time that we have known him, has shown a distinct craving for Chemistry. I lielieve that la will In-come a chemist of great note. Onie Hose has always shown lilerar.v talent in high school, and I am Mire she will liecomc a |MX t ami novelist of n« lit lie note.

Edith Wclili litis already shown interest iu the uplift of women, and I ex|K cl her to lie a suffrage! lender iu the near future. Then there is Newton Alvi . known as “Doc . Ilis family have all hcon doctors, so I sun sure that he will take up the study of medicine and liecomc a veterinary surgeon of no little ability.

Joe Aiken is well versed in electricity- He is ipialificd for some high position and will pruluilily Ik employed Iiy some light company to clean Hie lings out of arc lights. harlic Johnson hits already had some experience and shown efficiency along the Inisiiies line and I heliove that some day he will In the owner of a clothing stnr«' in some large town.
