3 Of course there is still the possibility .and probability ’ of marriage. An education can be a great help after marriage. The wife will always have her profession to help the family in time of need. Training in nursing and teaching, as will as in other fields, gives valuable help in caring for a family and running a home. Every girl, in my opinion, needs a further education. Mary Towle '53 LET'S FE GOOD OLIVERS In this day of hi-b owe cd automobiles a driver should always be on the alert —not waiting to see whet the on-coming car is going to do. He should think before hand, Perhaps he won't do as he should, so I'll be ready, to stop, should I have to stop suddenly. There are many articles in magazines and newsoapers about the carelessness of teenagers, on the road. There no doubt is a lot of truth in every article; yet there arc a lot of drivers in the older age group, who are slow to r act to a sudden emergency end thus cause accidents. Most teenagers n good drivers. They drive almost mechani- cally, because they were young when they learned, but they make the biggest mistake when, a car load of them together, they are having just too good a time. Then they don't realize just what could happen in a matter of seconds, and are off guard for those few fatal soconds. Let's make it a point to drive carefully at all times, obey the laws of the road, especially the hand signals, so the driver of a car following will know what to plan to do, and let's be especially carefully when several of us are riding tcg thdrr- Wo don't want to be some of the drivers ruled off tho road for carelessness • , Shirley Glidden 53

MUSIC FESTIVAL U This year the Music Festival is going to be a little different then other years. Only the bands are going to march in the parade. That will leave out Franklin Hj. gh as well as many other small schools. The Music Festival is a wonderful thing. All the different schools go down on a Saturday to have auditions in the morning and to march in the afternoon. The students for the 11 State Chorus go down on a Thursday. Vie get our room assignments, and then in the after- noon we start rehearsing. It really gives one a great thrill the first time all the students start singing. Vie have to work hard end pay attention to the director. On Friday we practice in the morning and afternoon. We have one last rehearsal on Saturday afternoon. Then Saturday night is the big event. It is a very beautiful sight to see the girls in their evening gowns and the boys in their dark suits. We all feel excited and nervous, each doing his or her best, and hoping that the concert will go off well. Then after the Festival is all over all are so tired that they hurry to their cars to go home and dream of the wonderful experience they have just had. You do not realise how wonderful it is to sing with so large 8 group until you have done so. I wish that every student could have that opportunity.
