“WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO.” The question, “What are you going to make of yourself, and what are you going to do when school is out?” is so often asked us that it makes us feel that you are interested in our future careers. If you are, we will try to give you a small conception of what the members of the class of 1911 intend to make of themselves. Do not mistake me to say that these following words are mere pipe dreams, for they are definite facts so far as we know. If each member does not come up to the standard here set down it will be because of some unforseen calamity. Let us see what Fern Masterson, the only girl in the 1911 class, intends to do. Fern thinks that teaching school is the only place for her. She has decided to attend the summer school at Charleston, 111., during the present summer and take the teacher’s preparatory course. We are informed that she has already secured the Meeker school, her home school, for the next term. Next let us inquire about Guy Collins, our classmate from Garrett. He tells us that it is his intention to enter the Milli-kin University at Decatur during the next term as a student of electrical engineering. This is a good college course for a young man, and there is an ever increasing demand for graduates from this course. Augustus South, the only living specimen of a now extinct race of giants, informs us that his bright star will lead him to the Normal college at Normal, 111., at the close of his school year in Atwood. It his chief desire to prepare himself to teach during the next school term. Casper Smith, better known as “Bunny,” has not fully decided just what he is going to do, but he thinks that he will take a course in engineering at the University of Illinois. Perry Rogers has resolved that there is nothing like teaching school. He tells us that a few years of teaching school will do him good and that it will put his pecuniary circumstances in such a condition that he can enter the U. of I. This he intends to do in the near future. Emil Carroll, a sturdy young man of the the famous class of 1911, contemplates entering the U. of I. as an agricultural student. Emil has spent his life on a farm and he realizes the necessity of gaining a college education in order to make a complete success of this all-important business. Tom Terrill, the manager of the 1911 High School Post, bids fair to be our only lawyer. The demand for lawyers and law interpreters is so great that Tom has determined to concentrate his energy to the pursuance of this most worthy vocation. Fred Romine, after considering the different college courses, has at last decided to enter the University of Illinois at the beginning of the next school term as an agricultural student.
