JACKSON PRICE leave. Those who have parTicipaTed in sporTs or dra- Supennfendenf When sTudenTs enTer high school, They look Tor- ward To The Time of graduaTion when They no longer need worry abouT lesson assignmenTs and reporT cards. They hope The so-called learning period can be made as shorT and painless as possible. Conversely, mosT seniors, as They approach gradu- aTior1, look back upon high school as having been a happy. joyTul experience which They are sorry To maTics, or in any posiTion of leadership, have enjoyed a personal saTisTacTion beyond +ha+ which comes from sTudy alone. There is no happiness more saTisTying Than The joy oT service To oThers. Service brings recogniTion and power: and power in The individual is generaTed by The respecT and esTeem of one's peers. NaTure dicTaTes ThaT one likes To be loved and respecTed by his Tellow men. High school sTudenTs, puzzled as To whaT To choose as a liTe's work, mighT well consider The area of public service. One of The oldes+ and greaTesT professions in This area is Teaching. The need Tor Teachers in boTh public and privaTe schools is already urgenT. lncreasing school enrollmenTs indicaTe +ha+ The need will conTinue To increase and even become seriously criTical in The years ahead. Teaching is a kind of public service which has many rewards, noT The leasT of which is The saTisTacTion which comes To one who feels he has helped ofhers. A good Teacher can be of immeasurable service To young people, To communiTy, To counTry. The moneTary rewards are noT oTTen large, Though usually reasonably saTisTacTory. Happiness is diTTiculT To define. and oTTen hard To realize. lT is The producT of many TacTors. As we advance in age, we come more and more To realize ThaT much of our pleasure comes from our work-from The Things we accomplish. IT is cerTain ThaT service To oThers. such as Teaching, provides an experience which is indeed rewarding. l would. Therefore, commend Teaching as a proTession To The sTudenTs of our high schools. Those who are capable and earnesT. and who believe They would enjoy working wiTh people more Than working wiTh inanimaTe Thin s, will do well To explore The Tield of Teaching as a possible liTe's work. I would parTicularTy urge our beTTer scholars To choose This mosl' rewarding kind of public service.
