8 The MICROPHONE DO YOU WANT TO WORK? You must make up your mind. These are not days in which you can hang arcund and wait for life to carry out a future for you. Most high school boys have decided upon their vocation, perhaps, because in later life more obligations will fall upon them. The girls, however, feel that high school is just a play period or a binding power until they can become married. They think security is money in the bank or a life husband. Today security can only be found in yourself- your courage and ability to handle whatever conflicts that may arise. Whether you plan to get married now or never the strength of your character can be developed best by go- ing to work. We are classed as the waves of the future. The inventions and businesses of the post-war world depend upon us. Science will live forever, education must go on, and new offices will open. All the boys are not coming back to take their pre-war jobs. It will be up to us to keep the Wheels of pro- duction rolling. Perhaps you think you will not get a job because you don't have talent. Few people have enough talent on which to base a cer- tain career. However, if you have a yen for a particular career, take a job in relation to your ambition. How successful you become depends on how you do your job and take on responsibilities as they come. Assistant Editor EDUCATIONALLY MIN DED Is anyone really interested in the school they attend? I mean in the bettering of the school, such as making it a Class A building and giving it an excellent reputation, on the grounds and off. It isn't a question of what a school can do for you but what you can do for your school. If you put your heart into every little thing you do, then you may rest assured that your efforts will reap profits. As for helping your school win a worthy and admirable reputation, think of the op- portunities that are presented in sports. Bas- ketball seems to be the most prominent. If you participate in this activity, do you play for the team, and if the team, the school, or do you play as if you were an actor, that the winning of the game depended on you, and that everyone has come to watch you, not the game? Wouldn't you like to have the townspeople think that every pupil has the same oppor- tunities as the next? You could help in this manner-lending a hand to the stumbling Freshmen, or any new student. When studying, do you read and think of your subject, or just pick out the parts that are sure to be asked in class? When one of the underclassmates is stuck on a problem, do you stop and help or do you laugh, tell him to study harder, and go merrily on your way? Do you want to be your school's Enemy No 1 '? Well, put an end to your bad habits, think a little less about yourself. For, as surely as you form good habits, just as sure- ly you mould the character that will be with you always-long after your high school days are over. Stop right where you are and consider. Are you guilty of hurting your schoo1's reputation and others around you? If you are, you are hurting yourself. No one can help you if you do not want to be helped. But Better Your School and you will Better Yourself. Literary Editor
