Talking with members of the Tatler staff In conference with administrators I want to comment on the importance of an education in this atomic-space age. Some of you may think that a high school diploma is all that you need to get a good job. Experience will prove that a diploma is not enough. And further, academic and technical train- ing that is required to find a suitable position will undoubtedly increase each year. The personnel officer in the employment office and the col- lege admissions officer will be interested in your ability and your attitude, as well as your achievement. I strongly urge all of you to make a self-analysis of these qualities and discuss them with your parents and counselors. Your future deserves careful planning. The public school curriculum in Alton makes it possible for you to get a good high school education. It is important that you take advantage of the opportunity. The record you make will follow you into business, industry, or college; and only your best efforts will prepare you to compete. Please remember that Less than your best is not success.’ Dr. J. B. Johnson
