High School Students Write Themes
Revealing Their Ambitions.

! 4
classes at the Kenosha High School
were assigned recently to write themes
on "Why | Go to School and What
! [ Intend to do After Leave it. If
the plans of some Of the students do
not go awry, the country viii be amply
provided for as far as business intel
ligence and art are concerned.
Some aspired to the highest posi-
tions obtainable, others seemed salts
fled with a fair education, while still
Others were content to remain in an
apparently ambitionless state, depend
ing upon the wiles and smiles Of
Dame Fortune to see them through.
E. w. wrote in part: "* In
the beginning | had no definite object
in viewjust a feeling that whatever
did was putting away another day 8
work. Now I begin to realize I
am here. My aspirations are
those Of cartoonist. More ideals are
executed through cartoon than. many
pages Of closely written manuscript
lcould ever produce. 80

i A. s aims are high, but he is resolv-
ed to carry out his plans'sI 60 to
school, he wrote,o to prepare myself
| for college, where expect to finish
my education. After I leave school T
want to do the big things in life. The
Skipper Of my ship is Ambition, but
if Ambition has not the help of Know
ledge, he will soon steer the Snip on
the rocks and shoals. My ambition is
to become lawyer or an accountant,
for which the demands in the past few
years have greatly increased.
| U. B. has ambitions all his own.
" After graduating from high school, =
he plans, 81 intend to take up cleo
trical engineering. To do this I must
be well trained in mathematics, and
must also have general knowledge
of science | hope to have these stu
dies well learned when the time comes
for me to take up harder ones. =
4 P. A. realizes the value of an edu-
cation, when he says: 1T is absolute
| " necessary to have good education

When 7 leave school I expect to 90 into
commercial life and become a success
full and prosperous business man.

/ Miss M. P. hopes to teach in the
| High School after going through col
llege. Il intend to go to the Stae
Normal School after T graduate from
High School, and it is my intention to
study hard to become a teacher Of
commercial subjects. I want to re-
turn to Kenosha and teach in the new
High School building if new one is
lever built.
Miss III. z. who believes in mixing
fun with work, wrote: NY first OBJ
ject in going to school is to learn some
thing. Then again I come to school
to have certain amount of pleasure
AS we all know, there is nothing like
fun. These and other minor conditions
make my attending school necessity
This is period of recon
struction and the world will need ever
so many people to rebuild it. Here
is where we will all have to help. IF
circumstances will be such that viii
make it impossible for me to study
further, I will do the work I am best
fitted for
| Miss G. NJ. writes seriously: cat no
time in American history has the
United States demanded educated men
and women as much as today. With the
war came opportunities At no time
