Presenting Successful Alumni After his graduation from the Woodworking Department in june, 1939, Philip G. Winkler, jr., went to work for his present employer, H. Pauk and Sons Manufacturing Co., as an ap' prentice machine hand. After two years he was moved into the drafting and detailing departf ment. Shortly after that he entered the United States Navy and served as a carpenters mate for almost four years. Following his discharge he ref sumed his work in the drafting office. Dissatisf fied with his progress he decided to further his education and enrolled in Klok Institute, a wood production engineering school in Grand Rapids, Ixlichigan. After completing his course he ref PHILIP G. WINKLER turned to H. Pauk and Sons at his present job in the design and estimate department. Mr. Winkler has added to his success in the woodworking field by becoming an instructor of his specialty- detail drafting. He conducts a class for adults interested in layout and mill' detailing at Hadley Evening School. Three months before she graduated from the General Clerical Department in june, 1951, Roberta Lee lines began working as a partftime comptometer operator for VVohl Shoe Company. Since graduation she has had a fullftime job there. Her work consists of preparing mark-up statements, accounting information on sales, inf ventory and shipments to children's shoe depart' ments in stores all over the United States. Her knowledge of comptometry is very essential to the performance of her duties. Mildred Ruppert Sudholt graduated from the Cosmetology Department in April, 1935. The first position she held after graduation was one Mrs. West helped her find in a shop with high standards. Here she gained the foundation and experience all beginners need. After three years in this beauty shop Mrs. Sudholt changed to another employer. After four years there the opportunity came for her to go into business for herself. The excellent training received at Hadley and the practical experience obtained through her employers made her feel she was prepared for her own business. She now owns and manages a large exclusive salon in Clayton and employs six full time operators. ROBERTA L. JINES X-N
