Career night, sponsored by the
Wheaton High School counseling
department, will be held at Whea-
ton High School at 8 p. m. today.
Career night is a guidance pro-
gram devoted to students in order
to aid them in selecting their vo-
cation. Great emphasis has been
placed on this program, as the
students choice will affect his en-
tire future life. Top speakers
from the chosen fields will be in
vited to address the pupils.
The students recently filled out
vocational planning sheets on
which they checked, in order of
their preference, their three choic-
es of fields. The sheets when
tailed showed the following re-
suits:
Top choice among 81 boys was
engineering: electrical, chemical,
civil, mechanical, aeronautical,
atomic, refrigeration and con-
struction. AS for the girls, sc
preferred secretarial work; regu-
lar private, medical and steno-
graphic. Second and third choic-
es among the boys were aviation,
chosen by al and armed forces 80.
1t seems the boys have no need
to worry about their future brid-
es. Fifty-two Wheaton girls
chose homemaking, and 40 chose
to be beauticians. Travel by air
still has its allure, and the excite
ment of being an airline hostess
has claimed the favor of 40 girls,
thus tying with the beautician
field.
1t certainly cannot be said that
variety and ambition are lacking.
Vocational choices ranges every
where from being a bartender or
night club owner to being vice
president of General Motors.
Parents and interested friends
of Wheaton are invited to career
night.
