'VOCATION' IS THE PROGRAM IN HIGH SCHOOL

GUIDANCE IS THE HEART OF OUR SCHOOL SAYS WEDDLE When School Supt Haskell Osborn was a boy, he told Kiwanis Monday, education was a simple choice. “You stayed on the farm, studied to be a teacher or went to Flint, Mich., and became an auto worker.” “If you wanted to wear shoes, you studied to teach or went .to Flint,” he added. Today the choice is so wide for young people, with America’s almost full and steady employment, the student is puzzled and unsure what vocation to prepare for. Life is greatly complicated as the youth views it from high school, Osborn added. “From what he sees around him, the boy now wants to earn enough to have a car, a boat on the lake, and be able to take expensive vacations.” Osborn introduced James Weddle, high school principal, and Dave McGrew, vocational guidance teacher. “Guidance is the heart of the school program,” Weddle said. “Advice to the student must be individual, not a list of studies on the blackboard given to him without* choice. “The student is continuously under tests for aptitude, native ability and mental ability.

UNCLE EB from El -NIEZER says:

DEAR MISTER EDITOR: When that tfeller Tommy Manville got married the ninth time 'he was quoted as saying it was a victory for hope over experience. That’s the way I feel about ole Khrushchev coming to visit us. I’m hoping but I ain’t expecting much. The papers is saying he’s bringing about 40 of them Kremlin boys along with him and I don’t see how we’re going to compete with that two-platoon system. We ain’t got more’ni four or five in our party that’s pulling in the same direction and we can’t git but about a half a platoon on the field at the same time. Personally, I think our State Department Should have got Harry to write ole Khrushchev a letter afore this visit. Them Russians ain’t really had our Sunday punch till they git a letter from Harry. He didn't git much done playing the piano fer Joe at Tehran, but when he sets down to take pen in hand he’s harder to git around than a woman trying to double park. All the writers is trying to build up Khrushchev’s visit as a mission of peace. I think that’s the right attitude and I’m hopping they is right. But I’m always afeared Oa these affairs. Fer instant, we ain’t never lost a war but we ain’t never broke even with our allies when it was over. The Russians won more at Yalta, Tehran, and Potsdam than we’ve won in all the wars we ever fought

An some of, them writers is overd >ing it. One reporter from Mosc. w Sc.ys he thinks Khrushchev s easing up on his aim to git 'West Berlin.

I went along with that, hoping they’d rest on their laurels fer 50 year.
