John E. Alman, Principal You tell me that you have chosen Vocations as the theme of your book this year. I want to commend 30U for your choice. Webster says a vocation is a calling or a fitness for a calling. I suppose many of you have your minds pretty well made up as to your vocation. Are you sure you are fitted by temperament for that thing? Do you have the energy, the push, the stability to go through with it? Can you keep level at the top. as Damron the potter told you? Education is experience gained for efficient living. As you think and plan your life ' s work, keep that in mind. With best wishes for your success and happiness, I am, Yours sincerely, John E. Alm. n. Page Sixteen
