Gaining Experience He's just a t'Chattanooga Shoe Shine Boyf' but to our hero, his job means fun. It keeps him supplied with enough money to buy himself a treat and to take his girl out during the Weekend. This is how he got his job: During the early part of the school year, he was sitting in two study halls every af- ternoon and figured that he could be using his time to better advantage. One day, While walking past the coordinator's office, our hero decided to investigate the possibilities of a part-time job. When Coordinator Harold Kannady inquired, What can I do for you? the boy asked, HIS there a part-time job for me if I get a work permit during the after- noon? After consulting his files, Mr. Kannady pulled out a paper that had Hshoe shine boy Written on it. There were other jobs, too, but this one seemed most attractive. Our hero was given a card and told to see the manager of the store as soon as possible. After the lad had an interview with the manager and learned about hours and pay, he was sold on the idea of a job. Since then, he has been a'Whistlin' and a'shinin' all day long.
