GO-GETTERS

Ingenuity characterizes the efforts of the senior class of Grinnell College to secure for themselves positions after graduation. Apprehension, no doubt caused by the bugaboo Unemployment, has led them to advertise their talents in a booklet which they themselves have published. This is to be widely circulated among business firms throughout the middle West, and it contains the pictures, the vocational aspirations, and the collegiate records of the incipient crop of job applicants.

The manifold advantages of this mail-order system are obvious. The horrible possibility of a maladjusted life is obliterated, for the student can continue those activities in the business world that he pursued as an undergraduate. For instance, barnstorming evangelists could do no better than employ a cheer-leader to harangue multitudes into a state of grace. And those who had centered their interest around debating clubs could, as a last resort, accept positions as radio announcers. Nor should those who spent four years being strenuously social feel slighted, for there is a growing demand for accomplished entertainers for out-of-town buyers. In fact there seems to be only one flaw in the plan, and that is the inclusion of the facial reproductions. It should be observed that the milk maid's remark to the effect that her face was her fortune has never been proved.
