Teenagers learn by experiences Junior Achievement is a national organization through which teenagers learn the functions of business. Many Seaholm students use the J.A. center located in Royal Oak. The fiscal year for Junior Achievement starts in September, when students from all over the area meet and form companies under one or two advisers from Detroit corporations. Within the next few weeks, the twenty to thirty members of the company, acting as board members, think of a product to manufacture, elect omcem and manages, dedde on wageg and Han buwng ma- tedalsfor producnon. After being taught selling techniques by their advisers, stu- dents are sent out to solicit from family, friends and neighbors. A careful record is kept by the treasurer of all sales, production, and hours worked by employees. Workers and officers are paid at the end of the month. ln May, the companies liquidate. Junior Achievement offers an opportunity for teens to get direct experience in the business world. Whether buying the correct amount of material, trying to balance the books, or producing to meet supply and demand, these young people are learning first- hand aboutthe budnes wodd. Using the techniques they learned from their Junior Achievement adviser, Fritz Marin and Dan O'Connor try to sell a telephone message pad. , 1 A A l7L'UjO'0Lj w et ., nfihil ill Qi V O J,f J ,if 2, s rl it vlfeliw J Kl.rP'l.nf Q 10,1 0, L I sl 'UUQ,1c,, . lfpjgygfjup 1 -W flex wif in More ,vw lt rf 1 f7 I ,f lf I , f Sggjgljftf WJ Llff .X jf fy 1 rw C7 JDM, ,JJ , -17,0 71.2 I, Db L L36 , I l Eujzplvu ID' cf Cwllcgl, Qi S?ylJV iLL0.pk-WOl,Il 1 QHJL U ref ,LV 4 , ei b , i Ll! it if I gl, gif 2 A fi L s o' ' .

mfr, 77-ef Civic Control Day gives insight into city On March 20, 1967, Seniors participated in Civic Control Day. A com- mission of seven students was elected by the senior class from a ballot of those who submitted petitions. Other oFFicers were appointed by these commissioners. The subordinate positions included those of fire chief, dog catcher, city planner, electrical inspector, city assessor, city clerk, city treasurer and sani- tation inspector. Civic Control Day was arbitrarily divided into two parts for the com- missioners and their oFFicers. In the morning, students toured the facilities and departments of the city government. ln the afternoon, the students spent time with their adult counterparts and learned about their duties and responsibilities. As usual, Civic Control Day was an effective and enjoyable method of familiarizing students with city management. Gayle Gardner is busy filing legal certificates as part of her iob as city clerk while Mary Steere, city treasurer learns to tabulate figures on various machines. ....... iii , A .saws 'V ' Si 9 .lri ,s- 5 w si is s i - . ,,,,sgsgs1:g,,,,,,,, U s S i 'its K ' :lg.'F ' ' 5 '-,.
