The advertising periods which were every after' noon, were conducted by Mr. Nutley, Mr. Sheldon, and Mr. Ricker. Each had his own distinctive method of teaching and for those students who wanted to learn there was presented some very valuable knowledge. For instance, Lee Westcott, the boy from the Presidents laundry, whose small son told his friends that his daddy was going to high school in Illinois, was a fiend for advertising. Every spare moment he was found making ads or writing copy. We took one day off, legally, to make a round of several places in Chicago. The first stop being Swifts, where we enjoyed a very delicious lunch, even after visiting the slaughtering rooms first. Our next stop was at the Chicago Daily News, then to Henrici's for dinner and Hnally our visit to the NBC studios to see and hear the Plantation Party program brought us to the end of another perfect field trip. The class party during this course was held at SZ Ranch. It was very well attended much to the surprise of everyone. Howard Hastedt gave us a very good exhibition of how not to dance while Mrs. Grady and Leslie Roe gave us a solo on the floor. The windup came on Friday morning when every' one received their certificates. After sad partings, all left for their places of employment, except those who are staying on for the next course.

sales and advertisin course Tslz-isle--the students were not the only ones who slept in class. ARCH 3.-Today, we again part with another c from our purses with promises by all instructors of a very enjoyable eight weeks from all concerned. And when I say from all concerned, I really mean we, the students. Having lost twelve students last course we have diminished in size, but with these incoming students, Howard Hastedt, Carl Super, Charles Bingley, Lee Westcott, and with the return of Barbara Robertson and Frank Schadt, we still number twentyfseven. Our sales instructor, Mrs. Grady, always arrived much earlier than the students in the morning. Each day she threatened to serve coffee in class but never did keep her word to the regret A of the students. Only once did she skip class and that happened on a very cold day so the students accepted her excuse. Little man Sales appeared before us many times on the screen. And with' Mrs. Grady's complete selling 8 s technique we are now able to approach any housewife, maid or whoever you are and sell ourselves as well as our product, clean laundry. The sales talks and demonstration went over with howling success. Our most popular housewife was, of course, the charming Barbara Robertson. She made the situation more or less the actual scene, although she ran into stiff competition from her husband, Joseph. Joe appeared before us with a very good housewife getup, even as far as having a troublesome child on hand. Frank Schadt the unlucky salesman, had his hands full doing his best to sell this housewife, but finally did get a trial bundle from her ffree of charge servicel. A1 Harding was called Mother Harding after his demonstrations. And as for the rest of the fellows, no one can say they didn't do their best. We Salesman Pop Schadt SOLD 'glamorous Ioe fsephinel Robertson a FREE laundry bundle. Page 'Eleven

FTER finding out how to fill our plants with bundles, how to wash and process these bundles cor' rectly and how to become efficient in every respect regarding our power problems, we now go into the stretch and discover the secret of debit and credit as taught by the able Professors Dewey and Grohne. Along with the last lap of our laundry theory came the long awaited and welcomed warm weather. This warm weather turned all our hearts to UQ-oh, you know, golf, tennis and swimming-and was it fun! One of Page Brock found out he was a peta darling from his highness, Judge Massey, who gave us the principles of blowing people out of court, and also, quoting Mr. Massey, 'LSueing a beggar and getting a louse. A class picnic was enjoyed by every member of the class at Hammel Woods early in this course. Fromhold became the man of the hour when he finally produced the weenies that were supposedly forgotten. The hot exam days finally rolled around and we all pulled through in fine shape-don't you agree, Mr, Dewey? Mr. Massey pulled a few tricks out of his sleeve, but the eye was quicker than the hand, and now law is no longer a mystery but an achievement. fEditor's note: But if you want to be sure, fellows, see a lawyer., . . !.,,, L t 4 1 26:35 I , , i5'TZY .
