Katherine Hartman Mary Huntington Flo Drumm Why We Want to Learn About Vocations It has been said of life, that living is learning and learning is a life career. Now you see why we go to school to study agriculture, commerce, home economics, manual training, music and arts—because they are our life and our career. They make us skilled workers rather than unskilled workers. As we grasp the fundamentals of these subjects through study, we gradually make ourselves into skilled workers; but if we do not study, we will be unskilled workers. While we are acquiring this knowledge, we are gaining a sense of management and proprietorship. In arranging our periods of work and in planning our methods and the things we do, we obtain the idea that we can direct our labors as others do and make them profitable to ourselves and to society. Commerce teaches us methods by which to realize these profits. It teaches us how to run businesses and to be a part of them. Although many do not realize it, music and the other arts are business careers even though long study and training are needed to make the work of artists valuable to society. Agriculture and home economics also offer wide fields for vocations because of the value to everyday life of good farmers and homemakers and also because men and women are needed as experimenters in plant and soil analysis and soil conservation and as dietitians and chefs. A man must study to become what he is. He may not immediately step out into his career but may simply prepare in high school for future study in college and in advanced courses. But often he goes into his selected work because he had a chance to do the work he liked while living and learning in Our Town . 13

Walter Newlin Agriculture We hear so much about big business men, politicians, and other important people that we almost forget the farmer, the provider of our towns. But even though he is almost forgotten he is seldom idle. From 1918 to the present day the agriculture course in our high school has played an important part in community improvement. First, the course taught farmers here the use of limestone. Mr. Newlin showed the boys the results obtained from limestone, and they in turn told their fathers. The introduction of sweet clover, the sweet clover harvester, pasture improvement, and the use of legumes has made the agriculture course an outstanding feature in community life. The last of December wound up a pest elimination contest under the leadership of Morris Rennels and Lyle Cunningham. The idea of the contest was to destroy hawks, weasels, skunks, minks, and anything that was destructive to young quail, chickens, and other birds. The boys have taken several field trips. They went to Indianapolis to see the stock yards and a packing industry and to Chicago to the International Livestock Show. There was a banquet on April 20 for the F. F. A. members, their fathers, and for the men who attended the weekly agriculture conference held since the first of the year at the school by the agricultural department. Ought to be a good crop this year. F. F. A Members, left to right: Mr. Newlin (Adviser), Kenneth Garrett, John Cramer, Vice-President Gerald Hurt, Paul Phillippi, Stanley Poffinbarger, Reporter Bob Stephens, Leo Gosney, Morris Rennels, Carl Collins.
