R U ll 37'-zalagae To every person whom He puts on earth, God assigns a special role to fill. To every high school student God has assigned such a role and He has given him the talents and abilities to Fill that particular role better than anyone else. But, what is that role? It is evident, we think, to all that in the lives of many high school students there exists much bewilderment, confusion, and above all, aimlessness. Because of this, we of the Senior Class have chosen as our theme, Careers For Youth, in the hope that what is said here, though of necessity very brief, may encourage some students to realize that the time to overcome this aimless- ness, the time to choose and plan is NOVV. It this is done under competent guidance, students may confidently hope to live a life that is full, abundant, purposeful, and happy. Two points must be considered: a study of oneself, and a study of the different careers in life. In the study of oneself the first requirement is honesty. Some people see only their good points and their abilities, others see only their bad points and lack of ability. Such types of judgments are wrong. True, we must be able to recognize our faults and our inabilities . . . but we must not stop there! We must also evaluate 'our assets: our aptitudes and talents. Here the advice of a prudent counselor is of great value. This appraisal must be made before the second point can be considered-that of the various careers in life open to young people with vision and ambition. VVhen a high school student has made this necessary study of self with a competent guide, he will find that where hitherto the list of possible careers seemed limitless, now for him it has become much more limited. Financial background, .physical health, intellectual ability, interests, and aptitudes all combine to point out one or several careers for which he is best suited. At the same time these considerations eliminate many careers for which he is not suited. The five categories of careers with their subdivisions which we have chosen for our dividing pages are but one possible division. Our purpose has 110i been to exhaust the possibilities that exist for the youth ol' Chevcrusg rather it has been to make the students of Cheverus aware of the necessity of planning EARLY, and to make them aware of some of the careers in which we feel God has chosen some of them to fill that special role. The unbeatable combination is to pray, think, listen to competent advice, and then choose. Then there will be no room for aimlessness: rather there will be room only for preparation for being a leader in all that is good in life. There will be purpose in one's life and fulfillment of that special role, and with God's grace success and happiness.
