DISTRICT PRI NCI PAL DR. EARL J. BOGGAN Rapid technological changes are leading to labor-saving devices which will mean in the future, that youth will be going into a world of employment which will require fewer work hours per week and at a greater financial renumeration than at present. The learning of a skill and being assured that the skill will enable one to earn a living throughout the rest of his life is rapidly disappearing. The effects of automation will require relearning of new skills constantly in an effort to keep abreast of the changes in one's chosen vocation. The greatest challenge will be how to use the increased amounts of leisure time to best advantage. Today's youth entering employment will be able to retire younger and with retirement benefits that 30 years ago would have been considered pure fantasy. The stepping stones to the future are all about you in the form of oppor- tunities to learn, appreciate and understand how the involvement of art, recreation and service to others can make your life so much richer. The use of leisure time can be an enriching experience or a waste. The future will require a well integrated individual who can budget his time and keep abreast of the changes in his formal employment and at the same time know how to take full advantage of his increased leisure time.
