Mr. Jay DeFord
Shares Ideas
With Class
Mr. Jay DeFord of Horn Man-
ufacturing Company told mem-
bers of the fourth period D. E.
classes that they are lucky to
have so much opportunity for a
good education.
Speaking on Friday, Feb. 13,
to a group of 33 students, Mr.
DeFord said that when he grad-
uated from Abbott High School,
only 30 were in the graduating
class, and this was considered to
be a large class at the time.
One comment made by Supt.
L. C. McKamie which Mr. De-
Ford never forgot was, “Young
people, when you get out of high
school and you’re at the bottom,
there is only one way to go and
that is up.”
West businessmen have the
same problem of competition
and getting a better variety of
stock as Dallas businessmen do,
remarked Mr. DeFord. “You
don’t have to go to big cities
to get problems,” he added.
Advising the students about
job interviews, he said, "Tell the
truth when applying for a job,
If you will, they will think a lot
of you. Be yourself in the busi-
ness world. If people would be
themselves, it would be a better
world.”
Mr. DeFord closed the speech
by saying, "Young people, may
God help and bless you ln the
business world. You need help.
God will be your best partner,
When working for someone, give
him your best.”
SENIORS CONSIDER
SONG, ESCORTS;
ORDER INVITATIONS
Seniors have decided not to
have escorts for baccalaureate
and commencement and are
considering several possible class
songs.
In class meeting the seniors
listened to a recording of
“Changing, Changing” and
“Somewhere" and read the
words of "Gonna Build a Moun-
tain" and "No Man Is An Is-
land.” No decision was made,
and David Filer, class president,
told the class that suggestions
are still being accepted by
Nancy Bowen and Jean Kariik.
Members of the class filled
| out orders for commencement
j announcements and calling
! cards in a meeting Tuesday,
• Feb. 17. These orders will be
placed with Southern Engrav-
ing Company of Houston, As
; soon as Sandra Urbanovsky,
class treasurer, compiles the or-
der, she will begin collecting $5
deposits or the full amount of
the order for the seniors,
