4 THE JESTER This year reed work and glass painting have been added to the activities, which students have enjoyed. If social arts were added to the school, it would be a great help. Did you ever stop to think how much our janitor was in need of a room in which to keep all of his equipment, not some little closet along the hall or in the gymnasium, but a real utility room? The need for locnkers is another large problem that faces the students of E. H. S. What do you find when you go to get your clothes for physical education? That's right., you. find nothing. I-f each one had a small locker and a lock and key of hi.s own it might help to solve the missing articles situation. There are only ten rooms to take care of about three hundred students. Add five more rooms and there will be just about enough space t0 take care of the number of classes in the school. Maybe you will sav that a future high school building of this .size is too large- Ellsworth would never pay for it. But we say in reply, Educate the students and they will pay lt back in the future . -Marjorie Ca.rl1sle, '4'7. -Caspar Sargent, '46. -1 THE ADVANTAGES OF A TRAJDE SCHOOL I think sometimes lt would be much bet- ter if some of the high school students might go to a trade school. Not everyone can be adapted to higher education or is really equipped to carry it on. Most of us will have to set our -aims lower. A trade school enables a boy to start. life with an earning capacity. Instead of spend- ing four years studying subjects which he may never use in later life, he has chosen a trade at which he may earn a living. We can't all be college 'graduates and even if we could there would not be jobs enough for all of us. For every man in the higher earning bracket, there have to be a grea.t many who Work with their hands. I think a trade school will .soon be a part of every high school. -Harold R. Dunbar, '47. i BACK FROM THE SERVICE- WHAT T0 D0? Three years of planning, many ideas thrown out the window. Will it be a farm. a trade or .school again? Once you arrive at the place nearest your heart - 'Home' - all past plans leave you like a. flash. Oh yes, you're going to take a month and do nothing but lie around, visit your friends and enjoy having the opportunity at last to do as you want. You Say a month! Well, maybe a week will be enough. Find a job? Well maybe, but what? So you try but you still have the idea in the back of your head that maybe you will go to college. Now that you are home you get a new start by this G. I. Bill of Rights. You'l1 get help in your continued schoolingg but how much? You are allowed so much for thlsg so much for that. The real stumbling block is to find a college where you can get along with what you are allowed or where you will be admitted. Some say the G. I. Bill of Rights is won- derful-others say it is something to stay away from. After a month I am still 'at sea'. No questions are settled as yet. You have to do this: you have to do that. Oh well, there's still time, I suppose. One wants to get going, but at what? Where? When? Maybe no one who reads this has heard these same words from an ex-serviceman. But they are the true observations I heard from one who served his country in the Navy for three years and he says that even now he is still at sea as to what his future shall be. -G. Denney, '46.
