'Y'TYTYYYY,i fYYTfY'TYiY Y! Useful Citizens HE ideal of every McKinley pupil is to be helpful to those about him, and to learn all the ways he can to be use- ful to the world in which he lives. There is not a pupil who has not given some thought to the many ways in which he lives. There is not a pupil who has not given some thought to the many ways in which he may at some time give service to the world in some kind of useful work. In an occupation class a vote was taken as to the occupations the pupils preferred and were looking for- ward to. The result showed a wide variety of chosen branches of work. They were as follows: authors, actors, and actresses, ball players, doctors, sailors, teachers, secretaries, mail cleks, newspaper reporters, singers, farmers, printers, missionaries, naturalists, chemists, and racing drivers. Some of these were expressed as follows: pq. . :gil 5.-.1 . The chosen occupation of mine will be Teaching the grades one, two, or three, To make the children turn out to be Citizens like XVashington, Lincoln and Lee. -Charlotte Bounell, AS. I should like to go on the stage as a magician. It is a good job with good pay, but requires much skill and practice. You have to think quickly to be successful. There are not many in the occupation.- Calomarn Minarick, H. R. 16. I should like to be a singer who sings to soothe some one's aching you sing and the heart. Besides, singing is a very interesting occupation. When are sad at heart and don't know what to do, the best thing is to and unburden your soul. When you are lonesome, you can sing forget all about your lonesomeness. That is why I like singing best a-nd hope to be a singer when I graduate from high school.- Nettie Friedman, BS. I should like to be a sailor and sail the seas. I think it is a very good occupation, because it is doing service for your country. The best part of it is you can visit strange lands and see there strange peo- ple. I would like to sail to the West Indies, and all the other strange countries. That part of it is very fine, but when it comes to scrubbing decks, it doesn't seem so nice. But everv occupation has its draw- backs, but I think aside from that, a sailor has a merry life, and that's what I would like to be.-William Alvarado, BS. I should like to be a private secretary because I could meet and cor- respond with all kinds of neonle and have many experiences. I could also be independent and earn good wages, besides learning to be in- LLLLLJLJLLALLLLLLL L.

There are so very many occupations, Ways in which to earn your daily rations, When I think of some I sigh, When I think of others I cry, At some of them I laugh, And others make me chaff, But there is one I like the best, Better than all the rest, And that's to be an author great, So that stories I may relate.-Florence E. Vanna., BS. like to be a missionary. I should like to see the different queer things and the ways they do. I should like to let every nation know the truth, and know God's word. I should want to go into some foreign country. When I get through high school, I want to go to college, then to a missionary school. If I were to choose which place I wanted to go, I believe I would choose China, because what I have studied and read about China makes it seem a very interesting place.-Kathryn Ann Paul, B8. MANY PUPILS PRACTICE FOR FUTURE OCCUPATIONS There are many ways in which the pupils of McKinley learn how to be useful in the world. Besides the regular class rooms, there are many activities in which they take part which give them real practice in work leading to their life work, or at least to ways of making' money which will help them to prepare further for their life work. Some of these will be described. The Candy Store Candy should be eaten after a meal, and good candy should be eaten. 'I'o be assured that the pupils can secure good candy, McKin- ley a-nd many other schools have established stores of their own un- der the supervisions of teachers and run by students. In these stores wholesome bars and Eskimo pies are sold. May I have a Skeesix? Got any Two-Steps? H Please don't shove! Almond Whip?
