BUCK THREE One hundred years ago the boy knew practically all trades. He would watch the blacksmith, the weaver, the tradesman, and the baker in order to understand all the tricks of the trade. It was easy for him to choose wisely. Today our industrial system has become very complicated. Today men do not do thlngsg they do one thing or perhaps only part of one thing. Consequently, lt has become both difficult and bewildering to choose and feel that one is choosing wisely. By entering into some of the extra curricular activities of our school, some become familiar with certain pursuits which motivate their lite work. Perhaps some will leave our glee clubs, go on with the training they received, and become great artists. Perhaps some will leave our band for a posi- tion in a symphony orchestra: others from the F. F. A. may become famous sclentlflc farmers. Our plays may decide someone for a theatrical career: and the home economics courses have trained girls to become good mothers and home- makers. Athletics will always play a significant role in the proper use of leisure time. Wholesome values may be derived from participating in athletics actively or as a spectator. There is an ever widening opportunity for men and women to earn a livelihood from their athletic ahllltles.
