Think twice before you choose
teaching as the profession you’ll
follow, after you graduate from
collie.

career, but don’t count on it.
The trend is discouraging. Four
years ago, vacancies and ap
plicants were just about equal.
Mount Olive College has
inaugurated a policy of ac
cepting High school students for
some of its courses. Welcome
are those with excellent
scholastic records, and
available time to supplement
their study in High school
classrooms.
This should be good news for
some of the students in the
Mount Olive area. With all
necessary High school credits
accounted for, they can get an
early start on Uieir college
education.
For the average student this
would appear to be an am-
Ixtious undertaking. The new
policy has merit. Right there at
home you can better prepare for
your college years ahead by
studying reference subjects on
what you plan to major in.
One disadvantage is the fact
that a great number of High
school graduates change their
minds about their major after
they enroll in a college
or university. Some of them
remain undecided beyond their
freshman year.
WILLING VICTIM—Rebecca Hines, 18 months old,
not only tugs at the heart strings of everyone
acquainted with her, but delights in yanking the
hair of her four year old sister, Stephanie. They’re
vivacious like ^eir mother, Betsy, but are the
exact image of their father, Steve. The grand
parents are Mr. and Mrs. B. G. Hines of New Bern,
and Mrs. H. F. Capps of Jacksonville.

sophisticated, however, and
didn’t involve deadly weapons
as such.
And in case you’ve forgotten,
cartoonists found it profitable to
take sly digs at law and order.
Slim Jim, built like a basketball
center suffering from the last
stages of malnutrition, always
got the best of the cops.
Only in those days, a man

Teachers, professors, and
parents may be helpful in your
selection of a profession, but the
final decision should rest with
you. Until you know your own
self better ttian you think you do
now, make haste slowly.
The opportunity for financial
reward cannot be ignored, but
this won’t suffice to make life
meaningful, if you prove to be
unhappy in what you are doing.
Steady work becomes
monotonous, but it helps if you
love your profession.
For example, if you are
someone who likes to travel,
don’t settle for an occupation
that will keep you in one place.
On the other hand, you may
prefer to remain in Oie same
community for a lifetime.

that matter, Slim Jim wasn’t a
punk. He never did anything
really bad, but just enjoyed
jumping fences with the police
hotly ctusing him.
And, in the realm of comic
strips, disrespect for parental
authority is nothing new. Every
youngster in New Bern, a half
century and more ago,
delighted in the constant
majdiem cooked up by the
Katzenjamer Kids.
Taking advantage of the fact
that their old man, the grumbly
Captain, was usually in
capacitated by a bad case of the
gout, they made life miserable
for him. They were especially
adept at whacking him solidly
where it hurt most.
You could always rely on
Mutt and Jeff to sock each other
in your Sunday morning paper.
Jeff, a little short guy, in
variably got the better of the
much taller Mutt.
This was a source of great
satisfaction to their creator.

himself, as we discovered when
he visit^ New Bern.
