THE TRADE TACKLER . .l- . To the Graduates I wish to extend to the members of the 1935 Grad- uating Class, 1ny best wishes for happiness and success in any- thing you undertake. I would like to leave this message with you. Getting along with people suc- cessfully will be one of the hard- est problems in life. It means that you must be willing to give and take in all hu111an relationships. It will be hard to take criticism from your employer, but remember if he did not recognize your worthwhile qualities he would not have taken the time and trouble to point out your weaknesses so that you might overco111e them. The person who takes the time and trouble to render you constructive criticism is your friend. The criticism may sometimes be given in an abrupt manner, but overlook that and get the real value -an opportunity to grow and improve yourself. I hope that the time you spent in school has been both enjoyable and profitable. The School stands ready, at all times, to render assis- tance to you in solving your problems. A welcome always awaits you at your Alma Blater, The Girls Vocational School. EDNA M. ENGLE 41

THE TRADE TACKLER To the 1935 Grarluafcs of the Girls Vocational School. My dear young Friends: VVhen I received your very kind invitation to contribute some- thing to your year-book I was very glad to be able to accept. I need not tell you how deeply interested We all are in the work of the several vocational schools. The Way in which the department of vocational education has been developed in the last ten or fifteen years indicates what an important place in our school system voca- tional training occupies. It is the purpose of a school system likes ours to provide educational training for every boy and girl so that they may have the opportunity to prepare themselves for the particular vocation in life for which they are adapted, and in which they can be successful. Pupils differ very much from each other in the types of ability they possessg consequently, a school system should offer a variety of training for the different types of boys and girls who are enrolled. The girls who pass through the Girls Vocational School have an unusual opportunity to secure good training in this particular type of Work which they have selected for their career. VVe are anxious to do everything that is possible to help you to be successful and happy in the vocation which you are to enter. Please do not think that our interest in your Welfare terminates when you are graduated from your school. VVe shall continue to offer our assistance to you at all times that we can be of' service. Please do not hesitate to call on us if we can help you in any Way. VVishing each one of you the greatest possible success and happi- ness in life, I am, Very sincerely yours, DAY'IlJ E.

THE TRADE TACKLER To the Graduates I wish to extend to you my best wishes for future success and happiness. But remember that success does not co111e without effort and sin- cere purpose. YVhile occupations differ greatly in the qualifica- tions which they demand, there is a certain small group of' quali- fications which is essential, no matter what your job may be. If' these are 11ot well developed in you, you are likely to be a failure in spite of' all the training you may have received. As you have been studying and learning your trade and related Work at the Girls Vocational School, we hope that you have been gaining and strengthening desirable personality and character traits, so that you will go out on the ob not only equipped to do your work well, but to do it in such a manner that you will be a credit to your- self, your parents, and your school. Remember, that the only fair thing is to give your work, what- ever it is, the best that is in you. If it is not worth your best, it is not 'th h'l .t.ll. Wm W le 1 IL ALLENA R. BAKER 5
