FBLA Club Has
Meeting Monday
By BRENDA GRAY
Following the usual officer and
committee reports of the FBLA
Club meeting, there was a brief
discussion of the nearing Business-
man's Banquet, which has been
planned for April 22. Karen Wright,
Mary Lou Tiarks. and Jack Pate
have already planned the program
for this banquet.
Following this discussion, Mrs.
Woodie Smith, sponsor, gave the
FBLA Club Members some help-
ful hints on interviews, along with
giving a brief preview of what the
program for the Businessman's
Banquet is going to be. She also
told the duties of the various com-
mittees appointed for this ban-
quet.
"Preparing For Our Future
Jobs." the chosen subject of the
meeting, called for a panel of
three who were Kay Ewing, J. C.
Post, and Sherry Walker. Mary
Welch was the chairman.
Generally, the minimum train-
ing required is high school gradu-
ation. It is recommended, however,
that aspirants to this occupation
pursue at least a year of secretar-
ial training in either a business
school or a junior college. On any
level of training, whether . high
school, business chool, junior col-
lege. or college, a knowledge of
English, office practice, mathemat-
ics. business machines, and busi-
I ness law is essential. Also, aspir-
ants should bear in mind that pro-
motional opportunities and posi-
tions of prestige and good salaries
are usually better for those with
training beyond high school.
These were the words of Kay Ew-
ing as she gave her report on the
topic of "Secretarial Educational
Requirements."
J. C. Post, who gave a report
on the "Basic Steps in Securing
a job," brought out several impor-
tant points. "When you are apply-
ing for a job, you are a salesman
selling your services. You should
let your employer know your cap-
abilities." This is only one of the
many things that J. C. brought
out as he gave several hints on job
interviews. One of these is to be
sure to have a personal data sheet
in case the employer asks for it.
"Finding the right job is one of
the most difficult problems a young
person will ever be called upon
to solve. Getting started on a ca-
reer has never been an easy mat-
ter, and now widespread unemploy-
ment and keen competition makes
it even more difficult." These were
the words of Sherry Walker as
she gave her report on the topic of
"Stepping-Stone to Our Jobs." Also,
according to Sherry Walker, you
should prepare yourself for the in-
terview and know why you want
that particular job.
The President adjourned the
meeting.

distant desl.inalion—and watch what happens!
We would he willing to wager (hat day n end would
find you far closer to journey's end than you could
ever have imagined!
W e say I his because we know how wonderful the
miles are when they pass beneath the Wheels of a
new Cadillac—and how templing distance is when
seen through the windshield of the "car of ears".
First of all. imagine how comfortable and rested
you would be! The seat-cushions are soft and deep
and perfectly contoured. The steering wheel is ideally
positioned . . . and the car is wonderfully spacious.
Then consider how easy the car is to handle! ft is
incredibly agile and responsive—and wonderfully
smooth and level of ride. In fact, if you have selected
the extra-cost option of Cadillac's air suspension,
you can scarcely detect the presence of the road.
And think of your pride and contentment.! The
very knowledge that your motor car is so highly
admired and so widely respected adds its own reward
to each and every mile.
You ought to try it soon. Your dealer will be happy
to explain the virtues of Fleetwood coachcrafling—
and to give you the facts on every model, including
the exclusive Eldorado Brougham.
