SocietyGirl We ask a lot of a Society Girl. She has to think fast and act fast. On a short lunch hour, you don’t want to stand in line at the bank. And she has to understand people and like them. She doesn’t have to be as pretty as this young lady . . . but if she is, that’s our good luck. And yours. □ciety FOR SRVIKJC5S WmM The bank with your future in mind HOY drop out of school now and that ' s what they ' ll call you all your working life. Nobody looks down on a man with a good education. People respect him. They treat him right because they know he’s got what it takes. A good education always shows. Remember: respect is only one of the things a good education gets you. It can also get you a good job. A good salary. And a real chance to enjoy more of the good things in life. So if you ' re in school now . . . stay there! Learn all you can for as long as you can. It can really make a difference. If you ' ve finished school, persuade your friends to stay in school and finish too. If you ' re out of school, don ' t give up. Take full advantage of all the training you can get outside the classroom—and think about going back to school itself. It can be done. Sponsored By Connecticut Chapter A.
