ORTY-SEVEX future salesmen and saleswomen IP participated in the fourth annual Des Moines High school day on May 9, sponsored by the Retail Merchants Bureau in cooperation with Clay D. Slinker, supervisor of commercial education, representing the Des Moines public schools. Students received experience and studied the problems found in such lines as art, home economics, broadcasting, controlling, copywriting, journalism, merchandising, selling, window trimming and also as floormen. Firms making this event possible were: Younkers, The Des Moines Register and Tribune, J. C. Penney, Mont- gomery Ward Co., radio stations KRNT and KSO. Wolf ' s, F. and W. Grand, Kresges, Taylors, and Sears, Roebuck Co. Participants in Des Moines High School Day repre- senting all four Des Moines High schools reported for in- structions prior to the day designated as Des Moines High School Day. Senior students were allowed to make out numerous sales checks in an effort to acquaint themselves with differ- ent situations they would be facing as salespersons. Later, they were guided throughout the institution in groups, after which these students immediately reported for work and instructions under regular salespersons, manager-, or in the superintendent ' s office. On Thursday, the day set as preparation day, senior student salesmen were given the opportunity to ask ques- tions, study and sell merchandise, make out saleschecks and perform other duties they would be required to do on Saturday. Rex Feight, who acted as controller in a Des Moines store, states, Des Moines High School Day, in my opinion, and I believe in the opinion of all other students who par- ticipated, is one of the most valuable and educational experiences ever received in the study of salesmanship, merchandising and other commercial subjects. Through it, we found out a little more about the organization and inter-workings of a store, and came to the conclusion that it is the inter-workings, that the customer does not see, that keeps the business running and continually progressing. Florence Willoughby, who worked as a saleswoman says, I certainly profited by my experiences after actually work- ing as a clerk. This actual experience makes me realize the problems that face the salespeople each day. I believe that everyone derived some benefit from Des Moines High School Day which will help them when they secure another chance to show their abilities. J. Russell Anderson, Lincoln ' s merchandising instructor, declared, 1 believe our students will especially benefit from participation in Des Moines High School Day because this actual experience will help them develop confidence in their own ability. Robert Worthington, who acted as assistant superin- tendent in a Des Moines ' store, explained, Des Moines High School Day gave the students the opportunity to put the things learned in their studies into as practical an experience as any that a student might obtain. Dorothy Ogden, Lincoln student saleswoman, exclaimed. To me Des Moines High School Day was one of the most educational projects I ' ve ever participated in. Besides the experience, I had the opportunity of facing the actual problems of selling and meeting different types of people. Due to the good showing made by the oncoming sales- men, a number of these students have been called for extra work at various stores.
