SHS is planning their second ca-
reer conference for the afternoon
of April 18, at the High School
Building. ' ,
“Youth Looks AJiead” will be
the theme of the conference.
The Guidance Services make a
great effort to assist pupils of high
school age keeping in mind the
existing difference in the individ-
uals and the vocations. The dig-
nity of all honest work is stressed
by the school. The school is also
trying to make provision in the
Curriculum for the school-leaver
and the beginning college student.
Each SHS student will make
three choices of the occupations
he or she is thinking of entering.
The career conference is an ex-
cellent opportunity for several
hundred high school students to
realize what the training of their
future profession is really con-
cerned with.
Different groups of students
will be spoken to by consultants
from Sinton and out of town on
various vocations. The mental and
physical requirements and the ed-
ucation or training needed for the
vocation will be presented to the
students in these talks. They will
also give them an idea as to the
spiritual and personal rewards of
the vocation as well as the mom-
entary rewards of the vocation.
