Ellis to Cio
To Greenville
With Faircloth
Don Ellis, all - Southwest
Conference quarterback for
A&M last season, has been
named backfield coach at
Greenville high school by
Greenville’s new head coach Dal
ton Faircloth. Faircloth recently
resigned from the A&M coaching
staff.
'Faircloth last night said Ellis
wou d probably come to Greenville
next August, when he will be grad
uated from A&M. Faircloth, pres
ently in College Station, plans to
move to Greenville sometime in
April in time for spring practice.
One problem facing Ellis’ accep
tance of the job, according to Fair
cloth, is the fact that the former
Aggie gridman plans to receive an
air force commission upon gradu
ation. He is a AFROTC flight
operations student, and Faircloth
fears that unless Ellis can be
switched to another category, he
will be called into service soon af
ter receiving his commission.
Faircloth said that he recently
took Ellis with him to Greenville
to look over the situation there.
“Don really made a good im-
pi'ession with the school and play
ers up there,” said Faircloth “It
was quite an inspiration to those
boys to know they were going to
be coached by an all-SWC player.
Jlllis should go over big if he can
keep the job.”
Faircloth was Ellis’s high school
coach for four years, and then tu
tored him again for three year’s at
A&M. Faircloth said that he has
developed a strong affection for
Ellis.

The class reunion at his alma mater,
Swarthmore College, was an eye-opener
for Ed Mahler. The talk among the
Class of ’50 switched to jobs. Ed had
taken it for granted that everybody was
happy with his work.
Then he found that some of his class
mates had had two or three jobs since
leaving school. Others had kept the
same one but weren’t satisfied. By stick
ing with his first job and intending to
make it a lifetime career, Ed suddenly
discovered he had a head start.
After being graduated with a B.A. in
Economics, he went to work for Bell
•Telephone Company of Pennsylvania in
1950. He reports he chose the Telephone
Company because it seemed to offer the
Lest chance for a career.
After a year of training in which he
worked in each of the departments —
installing telephones, handling business
contacts with customers —Ed felt he
had a good look at the entire company.
It took a class reunion
to show Ed Mahler, ’50,
that all first jobs are
not alike. He tells us why.
(Reading time: 33 seconds)
He was assigned to the Traffic Depart
ment, which has the responsibility for
seeing that customers’ calls are handled
efficiently. The job included personnel
work in addition to developing better
operating methods and practices. He
was quickly put on his own.
Now Ed has been transferred to the
job of estimating the amount and type
of new equipment which will he needed
in central offices as their customers
increase.
Ed points out that projecting himself
into the future isn’t anything new. That’s
precisely what he attempted to do when
he chose his first—and only—job.
Ed Mahler’s job is with an operating com
pany of the Bell System. But there arc
also jobs for engineers, arts and science
and business administration graduates with
Western Elc-ctric, Sandia Corporation, and
Bell Telephone Laboratories.
