OUR FUTURE After the close of this school year, thousands of higii school graduates will go out into the world to face an unprecedented future. It will be either the most prosperous or the darkest possible outlook. The prime factor v hich v ill deterraine their future is the present European conflict, which is killing youths and sending millions of dollars of property to destruction. The second determining factor- will be the status of the United States, whether she remains neutral or changes to a belligerent. The third determining factor will be the longih of the wo.i , should the United States enter. If the UnitoG States remains neutral, which experts declare a remote possibility, the future will be very bri t. The plans to in- crease our armaments plus the business of foreign nations will bring about increased employment. Thus the chances for work for graduates are much greater. If we should scrap our neutral standing for the belligerent rat- ing, wo can only anticipate the worst. Modern warfare with its un- limited horrors will kill many more men in a considerably shorter time than the first V orld V ar. Our entrance into the war would not affect the graduates at first but if conditions v arrant the need of more men, the age limit might drop to eighteen. A prolongation of the war would make the youths available at twenty-one. Although wo would have a transitory period of economic prosperity the war would have inevitable and serious repercussions on the econo- mic conditions as did the first great war. V e would also have the overhanging threat of a serious interna- tional epidemic of contagious diseases. These obstacles face the graduates and cannot be overcome by the individual himself. Time alone discloses their future. Charles R. Puliafico
