NOW WHAT?
Thousands of high school graduates are asking
this question this month aS they leave the second
step in their education. Eight years of preliminary
training and four years of special instructions are
behind them. Now what?
Do I want to enter college? Do I want to go to
work? How can I go to college? Where will I fur
ther my education? Does it pay to go on to some in
stitution of higher learning? These are but a few
of the many questions which the high school gradu
ate must answer before next fall.
Play days are behind; worry, hard work and
womanhood and manhood lie ahead. The decision
the graduate makes now will have much to do with
his future. Never in the history ©f this United States
de we believe that these questions have been more
difficult to answer.
.
We have only one suggestion to offer—make the
decision yourself. In years to come this decision w ill
mean much to you and if you have been the own
judge of your destiny no greater personal satisfac
tion can be found.

People talk of how busy a one-armed paper
hanger is when he has the itch but we believe at that
he would have to play second fiddle to a turkey
picker. The picking room at the new Eastern Ore
gon Turkey Growers plant reminds one of a whirl
wind which has been turned loose in a flour mill.
