Secure Jobs for the Future Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. D.E. morn¬ ing students aren ' t sure about the healthy and wise part but the wealthy part could be true. After the morning classes, the D.E. stu¬ dents left for work. Other D.E. students got up early for jobs and came to school in the afternoon. These students missed activities of the school such as assemblies, but the experience and knowledge they gained from their jobs made up for these. For many, these jobs could be a lifetime job, for others, a stepping stone to higher jobs. Larry Parris, Roy Cruensberry, Johnny Wright, and Jack Able display a composition book in D.E. Class. One of James O ' Quinn ' s jobs at Singleton ' s is to make sure that the shelves are fully stocked. Mr. Wheeler shows Sammy Knight how to pin back a shirt on a mannequin for a display. 22
