Redskins Taste Labor; Find Money Is Sweet Money plays an important part in the life of many teenagers, and money usually means work. In order to buy the clothes they want, go out on dates, drive cars, and, perhaps most important, go to college, a great number of Redskins have found employment in the community. The Youth Employment Service aids in finding summer jobs for those who apply; a similar service for part-time work during school is performed by North Side ' s guidance department. These services are similar in that they do not seek employment for the teenager, but rather recommend him when an em- ployer requests the aid of a young person. The result- ing jobs cover a wide range, including carry-out boys at grocery stores, service station attendants, depart- ment store clerks, and babysitters. Some jobs aid the teenager in preparing for a career, giving him valu- able on-the-job experience besides an income.

Mr. Lewinski spent many hours preparing for the programs on philosophy, which were for sen- iors. He gave two lectures to define some philosophical ideas and organized a student panel to discuss the applications of philosophy in daily living. In Choosing Colleges Redskins are fortunate to have such a wide scope in their guidance program. This year, it included numerous speakers and assemblies. Mrs. Grace Pennington served as counselor for the sophomores. She helped administer their special orientation program, which is to be expanded and made more thorough in the future. Speakers who presented material to the sophomores include Rev. Larry Loving, Plymouth Congregational Church; Earl Schwalm, President, Lincoln National Bank; Dr. Day- ton Musselman, Fort Wayne Community Schools; Louis Bloom, lawyer; and Mrs. V. G. Young. The junior program, directed by Mr. Charles Hin- ton, ptesented as speakers Robert Zimmerman, Staff Assistant, Geyer Junior High; Mrs. George Hacker, Purdue Center; Miss Louise Brumbough, psycholo- gist; Miss Katie Sizer and Miss Shirley Pend, Lin- coln Life; Maralyn Neuman and Bernice Jenkins, State Employment; and Mrs. Young. The senior guidance program featured a three- week discussion of philosophy by Mr. James Lewinski and a series of speakers. All seniors were required to take the PSAT.
