Some have such definite ideas as
to what they are going to do, what
they are going to be, and others
are adrift In big sea without fear
or anxiety even though there Is no
landing place In sight.
OF the college students the Sc
niors have positions in their chosen
fields, and practically all the rest
plan TO so back next year and
finish the course they have mapped
cut. OF the high school seniors,
those who have definite idea OF
the future are busy with their
plans and have long since either
determined to go to college (and
see their way to do so). or have no
thought OF college and have already

really need them. you would like
still to keep growing up together
but the best you can do Is class
reunion every 8 or 10 years, which
surely is much better than not
meeting at ALL but not so fine as
to meet them daily on the street
in their hCmes, and know their
families. II is real pleasure ia
travel over the state and feel that
at every station you viii in all
probability say: why, hello Doc,
and grab Docs hand as the train
pulls out. IT having hardly come tC
