PLANNING to be an electrician, Larry Landaw repairs the amplifier of a radio, a skill he learned in electric shop. Plans for our caieers were varied. While some of us hoped to become secretaries, others prepared for careers as scientists. Whatever we expected to be, MHS provided the basic training we needed. About 40 per cent of us were headed for college after graduation. After cadet teaching in a grade school, some of us wanted to become teachers. Others of us considered jobs stemming from our interest in the humanities, social studies, and English. Ve knew how important these subjects would be in any field. The mechanical age we live in made us place more emphasis on science and mathematics. We were excited about the new kinds of jobs opening up in these fields. For 60 per cent of us, high school would end our education. We took advanced trade and commercial courses in school so we could obtain a job in one of Mishawaka ' s businesses or industries. Whatever was in store for us, we felt, as MHS graduates, we would be ready to meet the challenge i ' hen it came. COLLEGE BOUND students write themes and research papers and study literature to prepare for college English.
