When she came home, I took out my pad and began to ask her several questions about her job. HTO begin withy she said, HI work for Decoppet and Doremus, an oddmlot house on Wall Street? HI paused in my writing long enough to ask, UWhat's that?H HThere are two Odd lot houses in New York. Stocks are bought in lots of a hundred or the ex- pensive stocks in lots of ten. A broker can buy any number of shares less than a hundred through odd lot houses.U HContinueH I said. HWhat do you do?H HI quote last sales or the current price at that time from a tele-register board.H Upon seeing my quizzical look, she said, HA tele-register board is a board with all the symbols for the stocks on the New York Stock Exchange. Prices are reg- istered on it simultaneously with the ticker at the Stock Exchange. 'VMy work begins at ten o'clock when the market opens. Taking my place in fromt of the board, I put on a headphone and I'm ready for the red light on my turret to shine.H My facial expression gave me away and she explained that a turret was like a very small switchboard with about ten keys. A red light flashing and a buzz signifies a call from one of the customers of the firm. HI then give him the price of the called for stocks and other information he wants.H Barbara Katz 13

Marilyn Sutin BALLPLAYER BASEBALL OFFERS MANY ADVANTAGES TO A YOUNG MAN WHO IS EAGER TO EARN A LARGE SALARY AND WHO LIKES THE SPORT kkkikkk I would like to become a ball- player. It pays well, between 525,000 and Sl25,000 a year plus public appearances and outside activities. I like walking onto a baseball diamond, into a dugout, and into a clubhouse. I like being able to hear the hot dog vendor, the cheering and the booing of the crowd, but especially I like tak- ing part in the greatest sporting event, The World Series. There is nothing like our greatest na- tional sport, BASEBALL. Yes, being a baseball player is my lifelong dream and someday I hope my dream will come true. Stephen Meltzer 15
