TID FINDING THE RIGHT kind of work is about as important as anything we have to do. For most of us have to make our own way in life, and prefer to do so. The old days of following in our father's footsteps or trade or profession are gone, likewise, those of just work- ing into whatever happened to be nearby. Nowadays, the problem is more complicated. Kinds of work are infinite. We need guides, both to know what kinds of work there are to be done, and to know our own aptitudes and abilities, what is offered and what is required. And there are guides. ln school and out, in classroom, and in libraries, in books and in magazines, experience and knowledge are ready to lead the way. Roll teachers and class counselors give definite vocational guidance. Conferences are arranged by the girls' adviser and the boys' adviser to bring experienced members from various vocations and professions to speak before groups. Thus the choice of an occupation, instead of being left to chance, is carefully directed. If we are wise, we will look for these guides and follow them. Vice Principal. x JNWWHH

SHIPS ABOUT TO ENTER or leave a harbor are guided by skillful pilots in order to assure the safety of property and lives. Travelers in foreign lands are conducted from place to place by proficient men and women who know the points of interest and can speak the language of the people. Tourists employ the services of experienced guides to lead them through the forests, across glaciers, up to the towering peaks of our snow-capped mountains. Ships don't just drift into port even with favorable winds and tides. Travelers who go aimlessly from place to place haven't really travelled. Adventurous tourists who ignore the warnings of guides and attempt to climb the mountain peaks alone are usually lost or injured. Students would become confused and lost amid the complexity of courses, activities, and objectives during their four-year high school journey if it were not for the guidance service placed at the disposal of each high school boy and girl. Students who avail themselves of the services of experienced advisers and counselors will, at graduation time, find that they have learned the secrets of acquiring, organizing, and utilizing information and are well on their way to a successful career. ,,...,f-
