MEN S SHOP ‘HOME OF DISTINCTIVE MEN’S WEAR” North Gate Career Cues: “An interest in student activities can pay you dividends later on!” Gibson F. Dailey, Asst, to the President George A. Fuller Company “Extracurricular activities never really interested me... architecture and construction always did. It’s a paradox, though, because as it turned out student activities gave me a big jump on my career in construction. “Studies educated me. But college activities provided the confidence I needed to approach the business world. Looking back, it was these activities that really gave me my first knowledge of people, administration, leadership. “Working for the college newspaper, fun magazine, and engineering bulletin taught me writing —a gift I use today in the promotion and getting of new business. Student Council brought the chance to work with other men —a daily occurrence now. Penn’s theatrical group and engi neering shows helped me relax in front of an audience then — and help me find my voice when I’m talking to large groups now. “True, today’s heavy college curriculum doesn’t allow much time for activities. There wasn’t much time for them in my day either. I burned a lot of midnight oil on archi tectural studies, but difficult as they were I still found time for student activities. —I’m mighty happy that I did. “If you have time during the rest of your years in school to take an interest in activities —do it! It’s certain to pay big dividends in an inspiring future in the business of your choice.” Smoking more now but enjoying it less?...change to Camel! Have a real cigarette-CdinsI R. J.
