en to the home room teachers:
Seventy-three wish to enter the
business world either as secretar-
ies. bookkeepers or clerks
Forty-five named the field of
medicine as their chosen life work,
either as nurses or doctors.
Twenty-five want to become
teachers.
Twenty-one want to take up
! mechanical work or various kinds
of engineering. »
Eighteen want to enter the aero-
nautical field.
Eleven want to be either ranch-
ers or farmers.
Seven want to be lawyer s.
Seven want to be beauty oper-
ators.
Seven yearn for a military ca-
