There will also be a number of marriages that will be the beginning of new homes and families. Graduation really presents a turning point in our lives. Life is always presenting you with new decisions to be made. Decisions that can make a big difference in your life. Watson-Tanner Clothing Co. Best Wishes!

What looks like a fine salary to you now, just finishing high school, will not be even a fair salary when you have a wife and family. Eventually, you will need a monthly income that right now looks very high and almost impossible. If you take a dead-end job, with the government, with private industry, or elsewhere, a job that really leads nowhere, and stay with it, ignoring these next few golden years for training, you will be cutting off your future chance for any higher paying, much better jobs. Nothing is wrong with taking dead-end jobs for making some money, SAVING THAT MONEY, and using it for training yourself. THE WRONG THING LIES IN TAKING A DEAD-END JOB AND KEEPING IT, IGNORING YOUR TRAINING POSSIBILITIES IN THESE GOLDEN YEARS. IP YOU KICK AWAY YOUR TRAINING CHANCES NOW (AND THE NEXT THREE YEARS OR SO) FOR A CHEAP JOB THAT MAY END AT ANY TIME AND THAT LEADS NOWHERE, YOU ARE PRACTICING SHEER FOLLY. Of course, you should use your summers, your week-ends, your afternoons and work, but don't think that as yet you have the saleable skills that will merit society's top salaries. The blunt truth is, you have a good start but you haven't enough yet, Myers Named IM Outstanding Athlete Dick Myers was awarded the outstanding intramural athletic award in Friday's award assembly. Myers was chosen because of his outstanding ability and for being an all-around athlete. He starred in football, basketball, baseball, track, volleyball, and swimming. Myers plans to enroll in the Los Angeles City College of Mortuary Science school this fall. He has already finished his apprenticeship at the Myers and Foulger Mortuary in Ogden. Congrotuotons Weber Office Supply Company -4 . not by a long ways. But getting the needed training doesn't cost a lot and those training years are fun anyway. It's fun to watch yourself grow, to recognize the values in society, to see what others have done before you to lay a framework for you and society. It's fun to contrast our society with others and to sense the democratic values. It's fun to develop your personality and to feel yourself grow in the ability to deal with other people. It's fun to develop a skill and to know that such a skill is marketable and money-making. Getting your basic training for two years (on up to four years) of college or a vocational school will pay off financially. We know from an extensive survey that person with at least two years of training beyond high school will earn an average of $1850 more each year for forty years of an active working life than those who left to work after high school. This means that two to four years of college, on an average, mean a total life income MORE than high school graduates receive of $66,000 on the average. This means that if you wander off to cheap jobs instead of getting your training, you are taking a costly step because you couldn't possibly make this up in a few years of dead-end jobs. We know from costly experience that training beyond high schools helps greatly in making you able to compete and to achieve. We also know that these 2 or 3 years after high school are the best years to get the needed training, now that you do not have too many responsibilities, debts, and other hindrances. Wait 2 years or more to get your training, and you will find you have waited too long. These are the GOLDEN YEARS for you to enrich and make more financially secure all the rest of your life. THEY WILL NEVER COME AGAIN. MAKE THE MOST OF THEM. GET ALL THE TRAINING YOU THINK YOU'LL NEED. GET IT NOW. Earn what money you need in the summers, weekends, afternoon, but use that money to train yourself. I'LL PROMISE YOU THAT YOU WILL NEVER BE SORRY THAT YOU USED THESE GOLDEN YEARS.
