THEME In years to come students all over the world will go to school for a cer- tain length of time. This time will be spent in preparing for life, when they shall have to go out to make a living for themselves. The day these pupils graduate will be a great day in that they will have completed twelve years of schooling and something new and different awaits their challenge—the life outside. They will have many choices of jobs and professions, although about all fall into three main categories. Military service? Is that the answer? Radio, flying, studying, submarines, parties, boot camp, marching; these are all a part of Military service. To serve one’s country in time of war and peace is a good occupation. Many people believe that Military service is the answer to employment. College life? Does that answer it? Going on to school and specializing in one field or another? Think of the people, the variety, the studying, socials, games and rallies, does that sound intriguing? A college education will help you secure a better job. Do you like Agriculture or some branch of Industry? Does farming appeal to you? Do you enjoy working in sawmills, dairying, steel mills, or furniture making? Any of these three fields will offer a great range of employment. One of these three will probably be your choice. Most of the students of Merrill, Henley, Malin High Schools will secure occupations in one of these three fields: Agriculture and Industry, Military Service or College Life. It is fitting and just that this be the theme of the 1953 Me He Ma.
