Rotarians Send Fifty Speakers 1971 saw the Birmingham Rotary Club sponsor the fifth bi-annual Careers Day at Seaholm. Over fifty speakers delivered presentations on various occupations and careers. The Rotary Club lined up speakers on most every conceivable profession including journalism, advertising, the military, the fine arts and varied others. Each Seaholm student was given a selection sheet near the begin- ning of the year on which he chose which speakers he would like to hear. These selections were tabulated, and on the morning of Careers Day, each student was given a schedule to which he had been assigned. The speakers delivered their presentations in a number of Ways, often determined by the size of their audience and the occupation on which they spoke. Some used slides or movies, others merely spoke. Most all ended their talks with a question and answer period. Many of the graphic arts spokesmen brought samples of their work for the students to examine. The afternoon classes were held as usual on Careers Day, after the three periods of presentations. Next year Careers Day will be held at Groves, not to return to Seaholm until the spring of 1973.
