10 SOMANHIS EVENTS started a great country—a free country. Their courage, patience, bravery, and faith in God enabled them to accomplish this. We, the members of the class of 1925, are pilgrims in another sense. We are going out into the world to strive, to seek, and to make successes. To aim for success, to seek for justice, and to make a name in a chosen work are the main objectives of our future. Our accomplishments must be based on courage. Have courage when you come upon a rut in the road. Don't give up, but go on as true pilgrims. Give to the future generations all our heritage from the Pilgrims of 1620. Elizabeth Winzler MORE SALESMANSHIP The word “salesmanship” brings to the mind of most people the picture of a man wearing a derby and a cigar, leaning over a counter trying to sell hair-tonic or some such article. There is, however, another phase to sales- manship,—selling yourself, your personality. When you walk into your prospective employer's ofiice, you must put on your best front, to sell yourself to him. You must show him that you are a “better line of goods” than the next man in line. You must convince him that you are a good investment, one that will boost his firm. You must be a good buy. In the interview your personality is your greatest selling point. It must stand out clearly in your would-be employer's sight. He must be able to examine it clearly, and give it full analysis. If it is to appear to good advan- tage, it must be a pleasing personality. So look to your line of goods; see if you have a good selling article. If you haven't, polish it up; the market is flooded with junk. And before you start out to sell, be sure that you have something to sell! Franklin Richmond CLASS SONG 1925 The end of the trail has come at last, And barriers stop the way ; Omens of life at the gate are massed, Their banners in bright array. Our own guiding star is among this host, A guardian on life’s way; Our ship of life will go safe and far, Our pilot is Heay'n’s bright ray. Chorus Then send us a pray’r in the after days When your own school days are through. And we'll remember with kindest thoughts, And say, “Good-bye, God bless you.” Music by Gordon Fogg Words by Franklin Richmond
