After Graduation, What? Graduation is one of the important events in any person’s life. We look forward to it with great anticipation. It is the climax of our public school career, and one of the realizations of ambitious youth. On the other hand, beneath the cloak of happiness and satisfaction of accomplishment, there is, long before graduation day. a serious and perplexing question almost haunting the subject, namely; After graduation. What? Prom what I can gather from reading and personal contact with prospective graduates the majority of high school students find themselves in a haze of uncertainty as to their career after their graduation. Shall I go to college or not? Shall 1 engage in a business career without college training? In short, how shall I make a living? Be that as it may. there can be no doubt but that the high school training tends to intensify one's ap prcciation of life. One will say that a liberal arts education is not intended primarily to prepare you to make a living but to teach you how to live This theory is very plausible but still we cannot escape the burning question of earning sufficiently to provide fc?-a means of liveihood with a liberal education. Years ago and in many sections to-day the succ -- of a high school was and is based upon the unmber of graduates who go on to college If a large number went to college, the school was considered good and highly satisfactory; if only a small number went, the school was considered a failure. This basis of judgment in mv opinion, is unfair, for not all graduates should go to college. Experts on this subject tell us that a college education is not absolutely necessary to succeed in certain careers. There is no doubt, however, that many young people without college calibre go because it seems to be fash- ?38B88sm8S smgmssz ionable others go for a good time, squandering money and consequently fail and become a disappointment to their parents and friends. Tendencies and aptitudes of students should be a serious study in every high school curriculum and only such as show a propensity in that direction, and then backed with a determined willingness to do hard work, should be recommended to college. Whether a graduate decides to continue his education in an institution of higher learning or not. I believe the majority feel, on leaving high school, that they want to make good; they want to amount io something; they want to be a success. When Frank A Vanderlip. former president of the National City Bank of New York, was asked what he thought would be the greatest help to a man struggling to succeed, he said. Look as if you had already succeeded.” Charles W Eliot said it is a great thing to form a habit of going through the world giving the impres-tn to everybody that you are a winner, that you are bound to be somebody—to stand for something worth while in the world. Th - person who fails is not the one who has no gift, no chance, no pull, no training—he is the person who cults. Success is every human being's normal condition; he is made to succeed. No child is really educated until he has learned to live a victorious llh . The habit of winning out in whatever we undertake can be formed almost as easily as the habit of being defeated, and every victory helps us win other victories. After graduation. What? Continue to grow. Make your dreams come true. EUGENE WEIDMAN '32 Junior Senior High School Operatte The Junior - Senior High School presented an operetta entitled The Ghost of Lolly Pop Bay on Monday nin-ht. December 22.

The exhibit consisted of over 200 master pieces of art by artists representing countries all over the world Snecial programs were prepared for each evening. The purpose of this Exhibit was to raise funds to pur. chase pictures for the halls and classrooms. Most of the pictures had been destroyed by fire in 1921 and quite a number of the rooms appeared very bare. The net receipts from tickets and refreshments after deductions for local expenses and freight for shipping amounted, to $58.70. With this amount the following pictures were purchased: The Train. Here It Comes, Washington Crossing The Delaware. The Call of the Great Spirit. Baby Stuart. Concord Bridge, “Song of the Lark.” Abraham Lincoln. Pilgrims Going to Church. The Angelus, Cathedral of Rheims. Cathedral of Amiens,” Innocence. and The Coming of the White Man. One of the happiest surprises to come out of the exhibit was the donation of $23.50 by the Patriotic Order Sons of America to purchase a iarge picture of the Signing of the Declaration of Independence, which has been hung in the hall on the first floor meeting your eyes as you enter the building.
