Is rush necessary?
Choosing careers is a problem that effects all of us
at one time or another. To some, it presents a larger
stumbling block than to others. Certain people seem
to be born with their future plans outlined. A
particular field is chosen and with no unreasonable
doubts, the person enters into what will be a
rewarding profession.
Over the years, the job selection has enlarged
greatly offering an overwhelming number of different
positions. This wide variety of choices has numerous
advantages but could it be that there is too wide a
range? To those who find decision making difficult,
these options seem complex and overpowering.
A great deal of unnecessary pressure is put on
making an early decision. By the time one reaches
high school, plans for the future are supposed to be
thought out and ready to be put into action. This
constant push to decide can get depressing to
someone whose future plans are uncertain, and it
seems to be needless. Shouldn't a person take his time
in making up his mind, since this verdict will affect
his whole life? The first consideration is to analyze
the students skills and interests, then research
related careers, and with a lot of help and
understanding, take a decisive step in planning a
career. A slow but sure method of decision making
mustbemoresensibleend worthwhile in the long run.
Is all the rush really necessary?

in marathon
Sophomore Dave Breeden
placed 22 in a field of nearly 50
runners in the Philadelphia
Road Runner's 26-mile
marathon held March 27. His
time was 3 hours and 54
minutes.
Dave, who has been running
since June 1976, has run in
several other races also. These
have included a five mile race
in Sea Isle City, a 13 mile race
in Ocean City, a four mile race
in Ventnor and a 10 mile race in
Glassboro.
Mr. Fenton Carey first encouraged
Dave to join the high
school croes-country team. He
was encouraged to run longdistance
by cross-country
coach Jim Harris, Mike Naples
and Mainland High School
teacher Bob Moreland.
In school, Dave participates
in cross-country. Out of school
he says,. "I am a county
weather spy."
Dave commented on his
about runninfl. "The
marathon is a very difficult
race to train for, let alone run
in. Most people don't realize
how much time runner's put
into running in a marathon.
Long-distance runners should
get more publicity."
In the future, he'd like to,
"continue my running and
improve my times in races,
mostly the marathon."

reminded students that it is
easy to make, a bad car look
good. Mr. Klause instructed the
students to be aware of the
following items when buying a
used car: (1) An overspray on
door handles, weatnerstripping
or door jam. These are signs
that the car has been repainted
and may have been wrecked.
(2) Sheetmetal work. Look
from the front down the side of
the car to observe a possible
washboard effect. This will also
indicate an accident in the car's
past. (3) If the seller says the
car has never been worked on
and one sees it has. leave!
in conclusion, Mr. Klause
offered this advice to owners of
new and used cars. "Maintain
the car (he way it is recommended
in the owner's manual.
This will save you maintenance
costs and improve the car's
resale value."

drawing for many years."
In school, David is active in,
"Computer programming,
something Mr. Baker has
literally got me hooked on."

drawing. "I have won a couple
of awards. Also, I tend to be
drawn back to computer
programming in some way,
whether to be writing a
program or reading up on the
subject."'

visited the college, but from
reports I have heard, it's a
great school, and is surrounded
by some of the most beautiful
topography in the country."

University, and will be going
there this fall.

my life working with
emotionally disturbed
children."
