3 work could make It, but that Is too much trouble. Thirdly, they just don't get along with the teachers who, they say, are always picking on them. Apain there is a remedy. faybe a little more respect and attention would correct this. So teenagers, please stay in school. These are the best years of school. You're look- ed up to and are given more privileges. Enjoy them and put in a little effort. It, will pay off in dollars and satisfaction in the future. Susan Brier »65 The following facts taken from a U.S. Air Porce pamphlet substantiate Susan's editorial IP YOU DROP OUT....... Economically, the cards will be stacked against you if you don't at least finish high school. Here are Department of Commerce figures on middle income for men at various educational levels... If you complete: you can expect a median income of: Less than 8 years of schooling $2,090 8 years of schooling 3,kB2 1-3 years of high school 3,865 ij. years of high school 5 052 1-3 years of college 5,2lj.6 Ij. years of college 7,261 1 or more years graduate school 7,6.91 GETTING A JOB........... AND KEEPING IT You've heard a lot about tech- nological advances, and auto- mation. One consequence of this progress is that many unskilled jobs are being elim- inated. The jobs that are be- ing created call for more and more knowledge. And of course during slack economic periods, the least-trained are the first to be laid off. Here are unemployment rates for the different educational levels... Completed: Unemployment Eight years or less 8,55? High School (l-lj. years) 6.2 College (l-l; years) 2.8 Graduate School ,7 As you can see, the jobless rate rises, as the educational level goes down. And as out population grows, the compet- ition for Jobs will become even keener. By 1970, Uj. million more people will be looking for employment.

k HAS CHRISTMAS LOST ITS MEANING? In the year 351 ., December 25 was adopted as the official birthday of Christ, bya Bishop in Rome, At that time they celebrated bv giving presents and by the use of holly and mistletoe. They had no Christmas tre s decorated with beautiful lights and no Santa Claus, The day was entirely devoted to the family and wor- ship. Expensive gifts were not purchased and little money was spent. Now, however, when the children think of Christmas, it means Santa Claus is coming to pay his yearly visit And they had better be real good or Santa Claus will ski{J their house. (Their Christmas iist has nutiierous items thab would cost a fortune. People are laden with shop- ping and great expense. Some people even go so far as to borrow money to buy gifts. They then take months to repay thus making Christmas miser- able for themselves. Christmas used to be entirely devoted to t he family and the worship of the Christ Child. Now it is excessively commercialized. During the Christmas season, prices on all the merchandise go sky- high. Christmas decorations are up and in full view before Thanksgiving comes. And, Christmas Sales are taking place in mid-November. Have the people lost the true meaning of Christmas? Does everybody tbink Just of presents and trees glowing with lights? Surely not everybody has forgotten about religious services, Christmas caroling and helping the people in need. Do you automatically think of Christmas parties and gifts when Christmas is mentioned? Have you also lost the true meaning of Christmas? Rita Myott 66 GET RICH QUICK? Oddly enough, after the assassination of President Kennedy last November 22, many people found themselves swimming in new found wealth. The owner of the room where Oswald was rooming open- ed the area to the public to increase the business. He has even gone so far as to make plans to sell Oswald’s linen. The police still have it in their possession. His plans are to-cut it up and sell 'it. This was done when the Beatles were in the United States. Their linen was cut ud and sold a dollar per square inch. Thus far 250,000 dollars have been collected. Can you imagine paying one dollar for a piece of someonefc dirty linen? Some people in doing this make it look as though Oswald was an outright American hero. Last November Marina Oswald was a' twenty -one -year -old Russian girl, with not an extra cent. Now she lives in a three-bedroom house with all the modern appliances she could possibly use, plus hundreds of thousands of dollars in the bank aooqunti.
