has taught me to look ahead to the
future and ever to keep the final
goal in sight Records have taught
me to be definite and accurate.
They prove that SurenesS is much
better than guess work. Also rec
OrdS, even though that is not
usually a purpose Of them. have
given me an incentive to learn to
type. After 1 have fixed few more
records, I won't need to take less
sons. l will have learned by myself
from necessity.
OF course, projects have taught
me a great deal. All my projects
have taught me new things nd
better ways Of doing the old. Pro-
jects have opened completely new
fields that have become very in
teresting to me- Through my food
projects have learned to prepare
more economical, nutritious, easier,
and tastier meals. Consequently my
family eats better when l am cook
ing the meals.
Through health and safety pro
jects I have learned to promote
both everywhere. and also have
become safer and more healthy my
self.
Through my calf projects l have
become better acquainted with ami
mails and can better understand
farming problems involved. Since
| have taken home Improvement
projects. my home. especially my
own room. has become a more en-
joyable place to live.
My clothing projects have helped
me develop creative hobby and
as a result | and my sister are
betterdressed at less expense.
While progressing in my projects
l have begun to take more respon-
sibility My mothr. knowing l am
capable, depends on me more. Also.
through all my projects and through
my job as treasurer l have learned
to handle money wisely.
Associations Formed
BY going to assemblies and
conventions, both All and others,
! have learned to associate with
people and share their ideas and
thoughts.
The little JOBS IN i-H and other
organizations have taught me
something very important: serving
at All and community suppers,
h lplng other members with
records. selling ice cream at the
cafeteria. making posters. and
many other activities. have taught
me that there IS great deal of
satisfaction in Just helping others.
Such service has not been for priase
or recognition but for the pleasure
Of working together for the good Of
others and the feeling that / am
part Of the group.
One Of the most Interesting things
that ever happened 10 me in All
was the opportunity to have an
IFYE delegate from Greece in my
home. Demptrius Spyradakls helped
me to broaden my interest in other
nations and created in me a love
for all peoples. especially Greeks.
l feel the IFYE program is one of
the most educational and beneficial
phases Of All. !.
OF course, many other organiza-
tons other than All have helped
me in developing into we'll
rounded person. These school or
CARNATIONS were the band, science,
Tri-Hi-Y. Library, and Choral clubs.
The church too has played a de-
cisIve part in my personal develop
ment. The All has given me much
of the experience and knowledge l
have needed to be an active men,
Der in all of these organizations.
Returning again to All. one of
the most important things it has
taught me is to take advantage of
the opportunities given to me. This
is all essential habit Of success
full life.
One Of the keynotes of HI is
progress. III has taught me to be
progressive. know have not
fully developed all the above traits
and that there arc lot more that
l haven't begun to develop. All is
helping me to progress and reach
that goal. It is steadily teaching me
to make the best better.
