sales and advertising course Hempel succeeds Hugo as The Great - Lover, the handsome brute'C?j. HE first day of the sales and advertising course was a usual first dayj' with regis- tration and the hopeful and demonstrative talks by the instructors. Mrs. Grady her usual smiling self, alive and vivacious . . . Mr. Holmes starting with ra lecture on class eti- quette and our attitude . . . Mr. Nutley, a little doubtful about the future of the class . . . but you could tell he was a swell guy, just the same and would come through with his part . . . Ayres, quiet and reserved . . . and the stu- dents maybe we shouldn't mention them. The new students drank in every word, while the mass for messj commented among them- selves on other things and were merely doing the instructors a favor by being there on the first day. . We fell to with a will next day, and 'til the last day of the course we studied diligently - most of us - and found it all very interesting. Advertising became actually intriguing especially to the man from Atalantis . . . Sub- marine Kerrick when the books contain- ing art photographs were passed about the class to give us an idea as to what a modern attractive advertisement should be. He even had a few art lessons from Harold P. on the side in hopes of being able to draw like Petty. Mrs. Grady showed sales films and talked selling 'til we couldsell anything . . . she taught us the two r's-repetition and reports.

Editor's Note: We only regret that We will not be here next September to see Moe and Walt tangle. Titration and pH were the order of the day and amid a chaos of broken glass and other debris, mingling with the repulsive fumes, We became second Lavosiers and Priestlys. On the cold morning of February 16 We start- ed on a long journey to the Staley Starch Com- pany at Decatur, Ill. In spite of the journey the trip was very Worth While and very instruc- tive. Aside from the odor that predominated Cand which We Will hereafter associate with starchb the plant deemed itself one of the cleanest and most livable plants We have ever been in. Their industry, much like our own, must sell cleanliness and sanitation. - Then came exams and those partings Which we so dislike -- fifteen of the old guard leaving us. Page Ten

Mrs. Cotter making the ideal housewife and Corby running a close sec- ond Che Wouldj. Corby's love for Mrs. Grady was the only thing that brought her to school when she had a terrible cold - she told us that confidentially one day when there were only 29 of us there . . . Ain't love grand? A trip to Swift and Co., Frank Young's Lay- out School, the Chicago Tribune, and the NBC Studios brought out most of the students and their Wives. Evidently the Wives don't trust their husbands alone in the big city - who can blame them? The Illinois Laundryowners' Convention was held here at Joliet and We were permitted to attend. Noel Grady of the Starchroom Journal gave a very informative speech there and Was a guest of the school the neXt afternoon at our invitation. His lecture was most interesting and beneficial. Mr. Shefferman, of Sears Roe- buck and Co., gave one of the best speeches on Employer-Employee Relations We have ever heard. Two luncheons at the Hotel Louis Joliet Cat the expense of the Institute, to the delight of everyonej afforded us the opportunity to hear Mr. Homer D. Morrow of radio station WCFL in Chicago, and Mr. Jack Joyce, president of the Joyce 7 -Up Company, both men giving very enjoyable and helpful talks. Then again came parting and the disperse- ment of more alumni to their respective plants throughout the United States. Page Twelve
