We have worked for tour long years to gain our diplomas., we have studied, and perhaps Hcrammedl' for our exams, and now we are reaping the harvest of all the seeds of knowledge, sown four years ago. But there is another aspect of graduation. VVc?ve had a lot of fun while we've been here-basketball and baseball games, hikes and picnics, initiations and plays. We 'll miss these things, perhaps, when we look back over our school days, and maybe we will wish we could be back for just a day. What are you going to do, now that you've finished high school? Will you go on with your education or will you let it stop now? So many high school graduates 'l'eel that when they have finished their four years work, they know all that they need to know. But in order to hold any high position, nowadays, a young man or woman must have a college education. Advertisements call for college graduates, big business needs the best educated men and women'g and in the home, too, a college education will be of great help. So think twice, graduates, about keeping on with your education! ttWl1at shall I do with my life?'l This very important question is one which every person must face at the time of his graduation. Time was, in ancient days, when a son followed his 'tatheris trade automatically, and a girl must marry. Now all must decide what career they will choose. Wliat shall they take? One answer is what are they fitted to do? There are two important factors to be considered in determin- ing a career: am I fitted for this work, mentally and physically, can l follow it faithfully with my whole soul: am T prepared, natur-

THE CRIMSGN AND WHITE 5 ally and by training, for it? That is the first question. It seems like a series, but each query relates to the other. Before taking up a certain line of work one must decide whether or 11ot one has the natural ability and proper training for it. ln order to be successful, one must be physically and mentally able to carry on that task, what is more important yet, one must be able to carry on whole- heartedly, with a great love for it. The second question follows naturally: is this career going to benefit me in particular and the world in general? This question is much more important than it looks on the surface. llnless your work would actually help toward the advancement of mankind, you would have no business in it. The profession of burglary may be profitable to the burglar, but it certainly is not helping the rest of the world. These two questions should be considered very Carefully in the ehoice of a career. After the first is thought out, try the second. linless that can be answered by yes, choose another line of work. Choose that which you love and can do well, and always remember that the greatest motto is this: Service M. E. C., '25 ......1T0. TOMORROW To-morrowfyou bestow a mist of fear, A veil that hides our future from our eyes. You might bring forth some friends from far or near, But still you might unloose from us their ties. Down in the valley of suspense you dwell Amid more splendors than To-day provides. Of you in stories authors never tell, Though you are faithful as the ocean's tides. Experience, your tried and helpful friend, 'ls sometimes useless, when we quickly trod The Path of Fate. Our life we try to spend That we may grasp the hand of Our One God. To-morrow must too soon be known To-clay Requesting that we soon give up our play. EMMA K. JONES
