Perseverance, most always,
brings its own reward. Such
was the reward of a diploma
granted 70 Herschel Poore on
Tuesday, when he was gradu-
ated from the Radio and Elec-
trOnics Institute in Philadel-
phia. For fourteen months Mr..
POore has been attending
school, most of the time every
day until the past six months
when he went twice weekly,
driving to Wilmington and taxi
ing a commuters train in to
Philadelphia. He has figured
that 10000 miles has been COW
cred during his schooling and
that has taken a great deal of
patience and perseverance on
his part and on that of Mrs.
PoOre, for it entailed getting
up at four a. m. each school
day in order to make his sched-
ule on time. Now the sheep
skin is a proud possession and
Mr.. Poore is already estab-
lished in a shop of his own
and ready for repair service
and sales of radio and tele-
vision. He must have said at
one time ut can be done" and
he has proved it that not all of
the knowledge comes in a
plush way but by real and
hard endeaYOr.
