Some must enter military service immediately and have no choice in the matter Others face many and varied possibilities, but it is very important that every- one get to work at something useful right away. My assignment is to discuss the possible and probable future careers of the members of the Class of '51, No one can say exactly just which will have to go directly to military service so l shall discuss my fellowclassmen with re- gard to their interests and capabilities in enterprises connect up directly or in- directly with military service.
