How the average high school stu
dent will be occupied one year from
this June has been determined by a
recent survey of 1,000 of last June’s
graduates. Teachers colleges, busi
ness colleges and vocational schools
will absorb 140 graduates from the
school surveyed, all in towns of ap
proximately 3,000.
Clerical Jobs in grocery «tores, fill
ing stations, shoe stares, eta., will
be tilled by 236 graduates. This total
Includes delivery boys and "handy
men," most of whom serve part time
tn a clerical oapacity. Thirty-one
salesmen also received the sheep
skins this year. The tatter includes
house-to-house canvassers.
Students numbering 171 will attend
college or university the first year,
with a large percentage failing to
return the second year. Lack of in
dustrial opportunity has Increased
college enrollment. A total of 162
will remain at home without finding
work. This figure includes girl grad-
I uates not planning to work.
Agriculture will claim 190 grad
uates, many of whom are returning
home to work. Included also are
youths who are going to work on a
farm for the first time. Seventy
seven are listed under a miscellane
ous heading, including truck driv
ers, CCC enrollers, mechanics, wait
resses and odd-job workers.
what this reason could have been.
This community is having a hard
enough time as it is to live down
an unearned bad reputation in
other parts of the state, and all
this has done is add fuel to the
fire. Klamath Basin Progress.
