NORTHAMPTON SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL NORTHAMPTON, PENNSYLVANIA Office of the Principal Greetings to the Class of 1942: You are graduating at a time when the world is at war, and things are very uncertain, but this should not keep you from making your choice of a vocation. When one is making his choice of a vocation, he should he prepared to consider at least two questions, and find intelligent answers for them. One question is: Am I prepared to begin to do the things necessary for success? Another is: Is the thing contemplated worth doing? Many young men and women rely too much upon the advice of others in this important matter of making a decision. Of course, it is desirable that you solicite the views of older and more experienced persons, for such information will often help you to make up your mind. In all probability, the most trustworthy guides to follow in choosing your vocation are your likes and dislikes. Certainly it is true that if you dislike your work, you will not advance far in it. You cannot possibly compete, other things being equal, with the one who is in the same work with you and who likes his work. True satisfaction and happiness in life comes from working at the kind of work one likes best. Best wishes for your future success. Principal
