after 3 am.
As one can expect, the girls
strongly favor sororities.
"At Wilson High" said
Libby Williamson, there are
many sororities. It's Q large
school and without sororities
it might be hard to have az
many friends. But with q
sorority We can have more
fun"
Betty Price commented
that the principal function
Of the sorority 10 for social
activities. They hold regu-
lar meetings and collect dues.
Most Of the money from
dues goes toward buying food
for rush parties, or for buy
ing sorority pins and sweat
ters." Betty explained.
The girls are quick TO point
out. however, that their 60
tiyities are not limited: They
collect food for needy chill
dren and hold drives foR
Junior Village.
After the truth court the
girls began their slumbeR
party. which lasted, accord
ing to Betty Price, until about
4:30 am.
But for six girls the party
never ended; ct 8 am. thsy

Special to the Record

NEW YORK, Nov. 81 Purely
from a dollars and cents stand
point, what is the value of an
education to a young man i n
Geauga County? What is it worth
to him, in lifetime earnings, to
go through high school and coll
ege
Studies made by the U. S. Dep
artment of Labor, the Depart
ment of Health, Education and
Welfare and other agencies show
that the financial benefits are
very real. In size, they vary for
each region, depending on local
economic conditions.
The typical Geauga County
youth, equipped with an amount
of education equal to the local
average, can look forward t o
lifetime earnings of 100000, ba-
sed on the findings. The figure
takes into account present / n
come levels locally as well S
life span and number of years
of schooling.
1t Is nearly twice tn e sum a
man had prospects of earning
after the last World War, inflat-
ionary effects considered.
The Census Bureau states that
going through high school a n d
college yields as much as So 400
extra in annual earning power
over the years.
The average income of fam
lilies headed by college gradua-
tes is $1,000 a year, compared

with $5, 500 for those headed by
high school graduates and 81 200
for those headed by elementary
school graduates, based on 1856
data.
Among residents of Geauga
County, the educational level
was shown by the last census to
be relatively high and increas-
ing, with a median of 1910 years
of schooling for the adult pop
ulation.
1t was more than the United
