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?

t1YJTfYY1mCTY?!'!,,Y!i LLL during the noon hour, you probably would hear the above conversa- tion carried on. 'This store is located under the bridge between the administration building and the south building, and is run by girls for girls. The boys' store is located in the Boys' Cafeteria and is run by girls, but for boys. ln each store one finds a display of almost every ki-nd of bar, in a glass case, with two girls behind to serve the patrons. A limit of one bar or Eskimo pie was set February 18, 1925. This was made because some boys and girls would spend all their money for candy and not eat a good lunch, which the cafeteria affords. The girls who work in the candy stores are appointed by Mrs. El- lert from the Commercial arithmetic classes, but they work under the direct supervision of Miss Gamble, who has charge of both stores. For their services they receive their lunch free of charge. The candy store work not only teaches the girls how to manage a store, but also teaches them salesmanship and gives them an op- portunity to take responsibility.-Bradley Spencer. The Book Store When you are in a hurry to go to your class, you suddenly remem- ber that you have no pencil or note-book. it just happens to be your luck that it is a test day, and if you have no pencil it will mean an E. What are you to do? Then you suddenly remember the Book Store. What a life saver? It is then into the Book Store you go, and here your needs are quickly tilled. Or if you want a belt you do not have to go down town to get it, but you can buy it in our own Book Store, and better than the ones down town, it will have the word McKinley nicely engraved upon the buckle. Two new shelves, which the girls appreciate very much, were pre- sented to the Book Store in February by the Board of Education. They are a great help to the girls who work there, and the girls en- joyed taking an invoice and filing the notebooks and papers on them. These Book Store managers have their own. system of taking care of this wonderful little store. The -number of articles and their prices are kept in a tall book called the Uday book. In another book the accounts of all the articles that come in and go out are kept. The accounts are added up at the end of the day. Each week the ac- counts are carefully looked over until they have found the total for the month. This book is called the journal. It is a great help to those who work there in preparing for their future life work. It gives them experience of how to manage a store. The work in the store is a part of commercial arithmetic, and it is .L-LLAJ..lL4LlLLsL.lALL.L
