X ' arious opportunities are opening up for young people to step out or scnool and into some branch of defensive serv- ice. Choices as to where and how he can serve will need to he made by each individual. I firmly believe that the greatest serv- ice that most youth can render to its nation in these disturbed days is to look at things in perspective and refusing to be distracted by the lure of the immedi- ate task or service go determinedly on to nt themselves through training and edu- cation to serve and to lead. America must have trained minds and skilled hands. You the youth of today must provide them. Prepare! F. L. McEuEN Tomorrow is also a day the old say- ing goes. That tomorrow will find many members of the student body still in high school. It will nnd the members of the graduating class, however, study- ing and working in new situations. Into those new situations, take with you the good habits which you have. — habits of being industrious, reliable, cheerful, and generous -and take with you the valu- able information which you have ac- quired and the useful skills which yoii have developed. All these will serve you well in the future as in the past. May you have good luck and achieve success! Esther E. Brown £eit Jtami
