FOREWORD WE again extend felicitations to the student body on their third pres- entation of THE Excursion. Special felicitations to the Seniors who were wholly responsible for making this edition a mammoth success. We wish also to thank our many patrons and contributors who have helped t1'e- mendously. It is our aim that every contributor and reader may become thoroughly acquainted with our efforts and activities. The day is past in which a young man or woman without specific training can enter an office for an apprenticeship in business and hope to succeed. The grandparents of this generation could do that. Today the employer wants only those who ca11 sell to him a skill, an ability, a serv- ice upon which he can make a profit. Payne's Business Q Secretarial School offers the specialized training that fits the young person for immediate employment and prepares him for promotions. Its function is not to provide the fundamental general education of the public school, nor the cultural education of the college, but to supplement these two with a practical specialized training for vocational purposes. It prepares the pupil to make a living in the busi- ness world. This specialized training will do two things: Make the trainee em- ployable and enable him to begin his career at a higher wage level. Money spent for this type of training is, therefore, a definite investment. Business has become a profession, requiring a degree of preparation equal to that of many older professions, and offering as attractive oppor- tunities as the best of them. Payne's Business School has endeavored to move upward with business in its climb to the professional level. Courses have been broadened and enriched to satisfy the requirements of both vocational and professional institutions. Today our school has one domi- nant objective: To train young people for successful careers in the pro- fessions of business. For the accomplishment of this purpose it strives to do five things: 1. Lay a foundation of specific fundamental education upon which a business can be erected. 2. Develop certain vocational skills in the pupil to the degree of pro- ficiency measures. 3. Broaden the outlook of the pupil until he is able to visualize possi- bilities in business and career. 4. Develop business habits and personalities, character which will pro- vide a place of' leadership in this profession. 5. The courses of our school meet two exacting requirements . . . the demands of the employers, and the standards set up by educators. To our Seniors of '47 I leave this advice: There are qualities of mind and character you must possess before you can make the best use of your technical skill. Diligence, initiative, vision, a keen alertness, judgment. These you must have and exercise before success will be within your reach, and these are qualities that T'ayne's Business 8: Secretarial School has taught you, and we are confident that you will live up to each of these ideals. By so doing, success will be your reward. MRS. F. P. PAYNE, President.
