Rv the Asxocio,ed press

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 25.-John
IODonnell is a relaxed and
friendly man with 10 children
and pleasant philosophy that
applied perseverance is the best
way to earn what you want.
What Mr.. O'Donnel wanted was
more education and a better job
He has new job now, earned in
part by acquiring a college degree
He earned that degree by going
to night school, supporting his
wife and their growing family on
a, milkman's weekly paycheck.
Not many college students ever
attained a degree under such cir
cumstances. For John, 38 now. it
meant an average of four and five
hours sleep a night for his five
college years.
He'd come home from work and
grab a bite to eat" his wife
Thelma says. Then he'd rush
off to college. Often when the
alarm went off at 3 am. I'd find
all the lights on and John asleep
over his books. I'd have to pour
cold water over him to get him
awake to go to work"
When the children were sick,
Mr.. ODonnell got no sleep at all.
But he kept on persevering and
he made the grade.
A product of the depression 30s,
Mr.. ODonnell always dreamed Of
a college education. But because
he was the oldest of eight chill
dren in his own family he had
to struggle to finish high school.
College was out of the question.
Earned So Per Week.
He went to work in a small
electric repair shop at So a week
in 1882. Eight years later, after
working as a chauffeur and gas
station attendant, he took a job
as a milkman. That was two
years after he had married
Thelma.
II just pushed college into the
back of my mind" Mr.. O'Donnell
says. TT was enough to keep
going on the So a week I earned"
Then, in 1945, he was called
into service with the infantry.
"The day I was inducted," he
says, my fourth child, John, jr.
was in the hospital with pneu-
monia. and Thelma was expecting
our fifth child"
When number five, Jane, was
born, Mr.. O'Donnell managed tt
get a furlough to take care of the
family while Mrs. ODonnell wa:
in the hospital.
About Christmas of 1945, Mr.
ODonnell got his discharge. Now
