for the seniors own personal use.
Five preference areas are repre-
sented-sociable, practical, theor-
etical, agreeable, and dominant. If
a score on the chart is near the
top it means that the student has
greater preference in this area
than most high school students.
Also it shows If you are average
or below average.
Mr.. Corthell reports that it helps
the student in deciding which vo-
cational field to enter. There are
no right or wrong answers, the re.
suits being based on the students
own character Some of the seniors
have discovered traits in them
selves they didn't realize they pos.
sessed. A few of the girls have dis
covered they are the dominant
type and hope this won't hinder
them in getting a husband later
on.

disc Lost. They studied the fall of

distort religious, business, social
and political relations"
An inventory of the nations
moral and spiritual resources for
brotherhood is being undertaken
by the National Conference as one
of its main tasks during the cur
rent year. Brotherhood Week
groups will aid in the survey. The
results of the survey will be
eventually reported to the Presi-
dent of the United States.
The big promotion during
Brotherhood Week, according to
DR.. Clinchy, will be to urge people
to do more than give the princi-
pies of brotherhood mere lip SER
vice. 'By getting to know the other
fellow, the one who has different
creed, race or national origin
than yours, by understanding his
viewpoint, his ambitions and goals,
you will find old prejudices dis
appear. You'll find that we are
all one family made strong and
great by the very differences that
so many times divide us as indi-
viduals and groups. You'll learn
to accept or reject a person strict
ly on his merits as human being
and not because he happens to be
different from you"
eve hope that during Brother
hood Week people will get to-
gether with people they know,
people they don't know, and with
people they wish to know, in the
informality of their own homes.
