THE GOBBLER-1946 JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL MESSAGE TO THE SENIORS Spare Time S EVERAL years ago a young man in Chicago found that no one wanted to pay him for his services. His financial condition was critical, but he de¬ cided to give his services to Hull House, free of charge. This man is today a vice-president of one of our largest motor car companies. Another young man who worked for a railroad spent his spare time in a hotel lobby where he made friends with many lumbermen and ranchers of wealth. Later he studied banking, and these same ranchers and lumbermen whose friendship he had cultivated during his spare time financed him in a successful banking business. Still another young man who was paid for pushing a truck on the docks became curious regarding the labels on the goods he handled. As a consequence he decided that he would devote his spare time to learning all he could about the products he handled and the countries from which they came. One thing led to another, and soon he knew so much about foreign trade that he was taken off his truck and given a responsible position abroad. This Key to Success is used by many successful persons, and is before all who attend school, where the best students are those who do not confine their studies to school hours, but work after regular school hours as well, to improve their standing. It’s what we do in our spare time, and without pay, that con¬ vinces leaders we truly wish to serve. Eight hours of work, eight hours of sleep, and eight hours of play is a satis¬ factory formula for the average man. There is nothing the matter with it except that it will usually lead to average results. It is not good enough to carry off honors. Elbert Hubbard has said that the one who never does more than he is paid for never gets paid for more than he does. Those who wish to go places and do things must prepare for this experience during their spare time. Alvah G. Hayes, Principal 6
