IN MEMORIAM IN MEMORIAM to our former classmate to our former classmate HELEN BIRD SHIRLEY MARTIN 1922 - 1938 1923 eos Class of 1939 Class of 1939 PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE Through A Glass, Darkly Four months from now, some thirty members of the class of 1939 will still be looking for jobs. It is to them that this editorial is addressed. Someone got that job you applied for. Are you going to spend the next month telling folks that you’d have got it if you’d had the same pull your competitor had? Don’t! Such talk is poison to your personality and an earache to others. Go back to the employer who turned you down. With a smile in your eyes and in your voice say, “‘I wasn’t the man you wanted for that job. Will you do just one thing for me? Tell me what I can do to make a hit with the next employer I talk to. Pick me to pieces. Tell me everything that’s wrong with me. It won’t hurt. You'll be doing me the biggest possible favor.” This will take more courage than anything you’ve ever done but you'll be surprised how eager the boss will be to help you land a job. Take his suggestions even if they hurt. When the next opportunity comes along see how much better you'll be fitted for it! Supposing some one again beats you to the job. Go back and find what was wrong with you this time. You're just bound to land a job if you keep this up, but there’ll be many, many times when you’ll need far more courage than it takes to play football with a twisted tendon. Courage, willingness to work overtime, the ability to see one’s own faults and peculiarities, loyalty, punctuality, friendliness and cleanliness,—these are the old tested and tried ingredients which are found in the characters of successful people. Old stuff? Surely, but that’s what it still takes to get and hold a job. =D mal) 23
