Ranger Bill, warrior of the woodlands, struggling against extreme odds, traveling dangerous trails, showing rare courage in the face of disaster, in the air, on horseback, or in a screaming squad color. Ranger Bill, his mind alert, a ready smile, unswerving, loyal to his mission.
And all this in exchange for the satisfaction and pride of a job well done. That you, pal? Uh-huh. What a day. Oh, was it that bad? It's not really. It just seems that way. What's the trouble, Henry?
Oh, you know. Sometimes a guy gets tired of all this studying. Especially history. School getting you down, huh? Yeah, sure is. Well, don't worry, pal. It'll pass. Everybody feels like that every now and again.
You know what you need is a new shot of life. of life in your studies. I know that. But where can a guy get that shot? Seems like every time I turn around I've got a new set of names and dates to try to learn. What's the good of all that detailed stuff anyhow? That's a question that's asked by more students every
year than any other. I don't doubt that a bit, but that doesn't answer it. Well pal, look at it this way. Do you know what you want to do when you get out of school? I I mean, after you've finished college as well as high school?
Not exactly. OK. Now suppose you end up in a job where you just might need all those facts. That's all well and good for a guy like me, but what about the fellow who already knows he's going to be something where he doesn't need him?
