AMBITION Pharmacist Coach House-Wife Radio Star Physical Director Farmer Beautician Aviator Nurse Nurse Crooner Teacher Stenographer Farmer Nurse Journalist Farmer Mechanic Education is the cultivation or the qualities and talents which a person possesses. It implies both acquiring facts and learning how to apply them, Ehucatuxzis something, that once you have obtained, can never be taken from you. In former times only the Healthier classes of people could become eduoatedg but today, for the reason that men have worked the problem out, all who will may be- come educated. Benjamin Franklin 'once said of education 'If a man empties his purse into his head, no man can take it away from him. An investment in know- ledge always pays the best interest.' It is upon the soundfeduoation of a people that the security and destiny of a people reside. So let's become educated!

WHICH ONE ARE YOU? This world is made up of two distinctive kinds of people, the good and the bad. There are no in-betweens or intermediates. A person is either right or wrong. Both kinds are divided into two types. The willfully developed and the victims of circumstantial habits and environment. A manis what he makes him- self. Each one of us are given a brain with which to think Celiminating those unequally bornJ.a body with which to put our thoughts into action and many ln- centives to instill thoughts. It would be comparatively impossible to enumer- ateland divide the bad into castes and it would be equally impossible to segre- gate the good, but perhaps an explanationyor rather an expansion on the differ- ences, is in order. Those, who, despite--not luck--but fatejhave willfully put temptation to the best and are not found wanting, who prove that life is all too short to take any short cuts to other leisure or pleasure, are the pride of any people and are the bravest of the brave. Those who allow themselves to be- come the product of an environment, either through the fact that they are lazy and refuse to combat it or through ignorance are rather to be pitied,though more often they are tde instigators of contempt and disgust. A person can either be good or bad through the means of his environment. when a habit has been formed, perhaps from early childhood, though the reason for the act is un- known, it inevitably comes to s persons mind, through little effort of thought and the act completed before you can say why you did it. Good habits as well as bad can be found this way, more than likely, from example rather than means of obedience. Then there is the willfully exact certainly, ignorant, person, who in spite of environment and training, persists in following the easiest ways in spite of the cost to someone else. Perhaps he is a well educated per- son given the best that money could obtain, but it is beyond a doubt, that he is ignorant of the finer things in life and the advantage of following a straight path. If we try, we will invariable find at least one good person for every bad Cor perhaps make a good one from an errandh. If we would look for peoples virtues and their faults refuse to see. 'What a wonderful, cheerful, happy place this world might be.' CHARACTER SKETCHES In the Freshman class we find a very devoted pupil to his studies as well as other things. At one glance he is rather an impressive young lad and seems to be enjoying life very much. However there are moments when his expression makes us think that there is some sober thinking going on. Most girls seem to think that he is quite attractive and thus he has a lot of admirers. He has blue eyes and brown curly hair and his manners as well as his speech remind you of a southern gentleman. However he is interested in athletics as well as his studies. He attends all basket-ball games as well as other activities of the school. He has not been a member of Monclova school for a long time, however. Kenneth Parker is this lad's name and if you are not acquainted with him I hope you will try to make his acquaintance soon. assesses Among the ladies of the Sophomore class we find a very pleasant member. She has a clear adjustable voice and as a result she is a good singer. She has many favorite songs which-she delights in singing. She has light brown hair and blue eyes and is smaller than most of her friends. A8 a basket-ball player she is a carload of dynamite in a matchbox and is very active for her size. You may at times have seen her riding her brother's pony. Then to add to her popularity she is one of our cheer leaders, always with plenty of energy at basket-ball games. She is good-hearted, pleasant, a good student in all her classes, sociable, knows when to laugh and when not to,' and has a smile for everyone. So just look for that captivating smile and I'm sure you will recog- nize Ardis Linn. assassin Now to make you examine the Senior class more closely I will try to chann- terize a young lady whom I think most everyone is acquainted with at the pre- sent. In my opinion she likes school in many ways and gets along in her stu- dies quite well. She has dark hair and dark eyes. This member of the Senior class has many friends and is usually surrounded by her many friends who enjoy her clever talk. She is also quite tall and likes to play basket-ball. The class which she is in usually becomes quite httentive whenever she recites. She is humorous and quite pleasant until someone 'crosses her path' as we might say, then you had better be careful. She usually means what she says and does what she intends to do. So please mace your acquaintance soon and enjoy it that much longer with the pleasant lary Strayer.

GLEE CLUB Our girls glee club has been organized this year under the direction of Miss Mignin. The total girls enrolled are 54. The officers are as follows: President-Mary Jane Reid: Vice President-Lillian Hollikerg Secretary-Treas- urer-Grace Beersg Librarian-Virginia Woods. The boys had a glee club at the beginning of the year, but since Mr. Yaecker has gone all we have is a quartet. This quartet is made up of Martin Linn, Glen Walbolt, William Woods and William Barton. GIRL SCOUTS The Monclova School has a very fine troop of Girl Scouts with Miss Wing as leader, Miss Perrell as assistant leader, and Mrs. Woods the executive car mittee. The total enrollment is 50. The Girl Scouts was organized for the first time in 1930 when Miss Stark- weather and Miss Parish were leaders. From 1931 to 1954 Miss Parish was leed- er. BOY SCOUTS The Monolova troop of Boy Scouts, Troop 98, was organized in 1950 by Hr. Baumgardner. When chartered it was sponsored by the Monclova American Legion post No. 556. The boys took to the idea of scouting very quickly and it was soon necessary to refuse boys because of an over large troop. In 1933 Joseph Curtis became scoutmaster. At present we have an enroll- ment of eleven scouts and officers. Our council consists of Mr. Anderson, Mn Winters, Mr. Cooper, Mr. Homer Plouck, Mr. James Sanford. Other officers are as follows: Assistant Scoutmaster-Mr. Herbert, Senior Patrol leader-Robert Bowman, Patrol leaders-Donald Dotson and Delbert Anderson, Scribe-Buddy Curtis, Treasurer-Donald Redditt. sinks Harold Beers drove into town the other Friday night with Lillian Holliker. They parked on Main Street right near a popcorn vender's stand. Presently Lillian remarked: nly. that popcorn smells goodl' 'That's r1ght,' said Harold, 'I'l1 drive up a little closer so you can smell it bettsr.'
