I Ma. flulfom' Mmage BUILDING FOR TOMORROW Yes, I'm twenty-seven, but I'm still just driving a milk truck. The speaker was tall. His features were regular. I-Iis eyes were keen. An agreeable smile spread over his face. Tell me, Bill, inquired the counselor, With all your ambition, why aren't you getting along faster? What do you want to be? That's it! I don't know. I didn't find out when I was in school. Was that the fault of the school? asked the counselor. No-o-,H said Bill. When I was in school I never did any serious thinking about my future. I guess I figured that tomorrow would take care of itself. I was too busy having a good time. Do you think it's too late for me now? Not too late, Bill, but you have marked time for ten years. With your intel- ligence and your personality you could have begun your climb upward years ago. You build your future much as a house is erected. Your teachers and parents are like consulting engineers or architects. But no house was ever built Without action. You must make the blueprintsg you must buy the Iumberg you must start building -not tomorrow, but today. But what shall I build? Build a life of service along lines Where your talents lie. In your case, use your ability to get acquainted with people and your natural optimism. You've had experience in selling. Selling is a great Held. Study the possibility of making an expert salesman of yourself. 4 A look which mingled hope and regret spread over Bill's face: Tell the high school pupils for me not to neglect, as I did, building for tomorrow. -Reed Fulton.

The teachers' boxes are on one side, the switchboard, desks, typewriters, telephone and files behind the main desk, on the other. There is a hum of activ- ity. This is the office where pro- grams, grades, and school busi- ness are kept. Miss Henson, head clerk, is a recent addition to West Seattle's force, having replaced Mrs. Cady last January. Assist- ed by Miss Moore and various students, she keeps the mech- anism of the school running smoothly. Mfuliaqeil Manage Friendliness, faith, creation are leagued against Warfare, distrust, and destruction for the control of our future. Against a world dominated by dread and death every healthy hope revolts. Cur belief in progress and purpose rejects such a World. Revolt and rejection are not enough. A World Worthy of our power to build, a world Worth building for demands: Imagination. Cooperative Effort. A more equal distribution of Work, play, health, opportunity, trained capac- ities, useful habits. Hail, Builders! TO VVORK! -A. Lyle Kaye. 'H 'L s,..h NIISS MOORE NIFKS. CADY
