BLUE AND WHITE 27 OUR FUTURE? What is in the future for us as Seniors? What will we all be doing ten or even five years from now? Right now the future does not look too bright. There is that ever-present threat of war—which would draw most of us right into the thick of it. That thought certainly is far from encouraging. Unemployment, as was explained to us bv a man deah'ng in Social Security and unemployment compensation, is increasing. If skilled workers can not find positions, what are we Seniors, inexperienced as we are, going to do for work? Some of us will, as the case may be, go on to higher education ; therefore, our work will be mapped out for us for three or four years. What will the ones who are not going on to higher education do for work ? There are good chances for men who vv‘11 willingly dig ditches. After all, men have been known to support families on a ditch-digger’s salary. But is that enough ? How can we, who have heard so much about the future and what we will make of it. be satisfied with such small earnings? Are we going throughout life taking the path of least resistance. accept'ng whatever career may first present itself—or are we going to start to reach for the higher things in life? The time is now. Stephany Thompson. ’50.
