Careers H! what a grand and glorious world lies before us today. What thrilling and practical careers are awaiting our study as our wary feet step over the threshold into a new world. No longer are we young ladies tutored in the arts of music, fashion and grace and then placed sweetly on the shelf to await that knight in armor, who will come and carry us off into the sea of matrimony. No, today we can boast of the fact that we are really women. As we step into the highway of life shall we not be considered competent enough to transact the business of a great executive? A secretary may truly consider herself her employer's mind. She must know what he should be doing, at what time and at what place. QThis young ladies, is what we have been training for.j I imagine some girls would enjoy a career that is more thrilling! What of a Doctor! What could be more exciting than to be able to take a person's life in your hands and relieve him of all the tortures and pains of which he has suffered. Aviation, the next great improvement will provide many young girls with a thrilling career. just the thought of soaring through the heavenly clouds will make their hearts beat faster. Now let us come down to earth and review the practical careers of our present age. I believe, as do many others, that nursing will head this list. This is a career that is practical and at the same time profitable in a temporal and spiritual way. A nurse has the privilege of caring for the weak and helpless. ln consideration of all these cheerful and attractive futures let us not be hasty in our choice but let us be guided by the principle and example of firstly, the Divine Preacher, Christ Himself, Who has said I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. Secondly, when perplexed, discouraged and disheartened Ite Ad joseph and all difficulties will disappear as in the past. Finally, having learned and known the Truth from our Alma Mater, the Truth shall make us free to reach our eternal destiny. ANNA CAIRNS '40 2 2 Ea..-
