De Smet Hi NEW SET TE from the De Smet News Jan. 31, 1963 WHY FINISH SCHOOL? Think straight about school and you wont be one of the “million kids wasted” every year. “Wasted” is an ugly word, es- specially when it is used about young people. Educators and em- ployers, however, are saying that a million of America’s youth are being wasted each year. The waste comes when young people quit school before graduating from high school. They hope to start out on their own and earn their own way. But there are no jobs for a million of them. The problem has become so great that the Government has taken ajhand. President Kennedy has appointed a Committee on Youth Employment. Congress is working on a bill to provide spe- cial work for young people and give them added training. While federal agencies ponder, it is im- portant for young people now in school to understand the problem. They can begin in junior high. At present, one third of all young people in the U.S. drop out of school before they finish high school. In most states they are re- quired by law to remain in school untill they are 16. After that, they are free to stop if they choose and if parents allow them to. Dropping out of school didn’t work out badly in former genera- tions. There were many ways in which young people without training could earn money and get experience on the job. Those with ability could often work their way up. Today it is harder and harder for them to make a start. The number of young peo- ple between 16 and 21 is growing rapidly. There are fewer jobs for them now then there were five years ago. Automation has cut down the number of jobs for unskilled workers. Employers pick their most reliable and trained workers to operate the expensive and complicated machines. There are fewer openings for beginners without training or experience. Of the 414 million unemployed in the U.S., over a million are young people. Because of the need for trained workers, college, grad- uates as a group do very well in finding jobs. Yet only one young American in seven now graduates from college. Young people starting out with high school or trade school diplo- mas have a 'harder time finding work than the college graduates. With persistence, however, most Question of the Week What did you think of the game between the Hollywood Harlem Jets and the East Central Coaches? Dean Carrol: “It was good.” Richard Spencer: “Not as good as I thought it was going to be.” Janet Pirlet: “Pretty good I guess.” Peggy Schwartz: “21 was a riot. They had a good crowd and it was fun to watch the coaches play for once. Ricky Williamson: “It was all right.” Carolyn Bowes: “It was o.k.” of them can find a job. But educational requirements are rising. Employers ndw expect applicants to have finished high school or a trade school. In years to come, they will be asking for at least two years of additional training. Employers are wary of appli- cants who drop out of school. They know these young people need more training—and may dislike training on the job as they did in school. They lack the dis- cipline of good work habits. As teen-agers grow up, their attitudes toward school may change. Many see little value in study. A few rough courses can make them feel like failures. School discipline may seem like a childish burden. Most of those who quit high school are not lacking in intelli- gence. Statistics show that 70 per cent of them could finish if they remained. In fact from 6 to 13 per cent could make the grade in col- lege. If they gave themselves more of a chance, they wouldn’t become “wasted” ones. Students in junior high can help themselves by understand- ing their need for school. They can keep on the lookout for kinds of work and study that they most enjoy—a possible guide to the future. If they fail a course, they can take it over—try to learn it more thoroughly. Most important of all, they don’t imagine they are back in the old days when young people could go out to seek their fortune and succeed—without an educa- tion. — N — Bulldogs Defeat Wolsey Here Saturday Evening The Bulldogs of De Smet won a non-conference game in the vis- it of Wolsey Saturday evening, Hollywood Jets Played Here Last Wednesday In the contest between the grade school and high school, the advance tickets to the Hollywood high school outsold the grade in Harlem Jets game with coaches of the area, sponsored by the “D chib.

Mrs. Lester The First grade class has begun the Primer, Fun with Dick and Jane. We really feel quite “grown up” because we can read in this book as easily as the other books we have already read and enjoy- ed. Most of us know the A B C’s and can write them. We are be- ginning spelling and have new phonics and reading workbooks. The second grade is enjoy- ing the reading unit Work on Pleasant Street. We have one more unit to read before we get our new books. only by the students but also by everyone who attends any sports aoitvity. At the present time we are con- cerned with basketball. To keep a good reputation we must dis- continue all booing at the refe- rees, and when our players make a mistake we shouldn’t become critics. Yelling when an opponent makes a mistake is a type of poor sportsmanship that De Smet does not want. So let’s remember these rules and support the Bull- dogs in a clean, sporsmanship manner.
