SUPERINTENDENT S MESSAGE It should be the goal of every boy and girl in the Wapella school to get education. Let us remember that education for all people is not the same thing. For some, it may be graduation from high schooL For others, it may be two years of college in some agriculture college, or a six months course in a business college. For others, it may be eight or ten years in college for a medical degree. Education is training to fit a person into the type of work that will give him the things of life that will make him most happy. I worked in a factory one summer, and while I was there, I observed that many of the people who worked there were unhappy. Why ? The main reason was because they had never found the type of work that was fitted for them. Now is the time for you boys and girls to begin thinking about the various jobs that you might like, and pursue your education to that end.
