Queen eyes sports writing
When Griffin High students
chose their homecoming queen,
they picked a well-balanced
combination of brains and
beauty — Susan Ahl.
Susan, a 17-year-old senior,
was so drawn up in half-time
homecoming activities at the
Griffin-Jonesboro game that it
was not until the crown rested
on her head that she realized
her victory.
“I had to stand there for
almost a whole minute before I
knew that they were talking
about me when they announced
the court,” she said.
Twelve candidates and their
escorts had competed for the
votes of their peers for the title
of queen.
A “B” student, Susan loves to
write and plans to major in
journalism while attending the
University of Georgia after
graduation.
“Right now I am taking
English, government, art, and
home economics, with almost

tennis team practice,” the blue
eyed, blonde added.
While tennis takes up most of
her spare time, Susan also
enjoys playing basketball,
swimming, and cheerleading.
“I hope that when I finish
studying journalism that I can
be a sports writer for a large
newspaper,” she explained.
During her summers, Susan’s
attractive five-foot-three, 110
pound frame protects country
club swimmers from drowning
and other waterfront accidents.
“Swimming is a great sport,”
the petite blonde said, “that
anyone can really enjoy.”
Susan adds herself to Griffin’s
swimming team during the
year’s warmer months.
The daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Calton W. Ahl of 902 Sunnybrook
drive, Susan was escorted to the
homecoming celebration by
Steve Statham.
Homecoming court prin
cesses were Tommie Allen and

Youth Beat
Sandusky sends call for help
By ERNESTINE GUGLIELMO
A CALL FOR HELP — The young people of Sandusky.
Ohio, are trying to set up a Youth Council. They’re new
at it and could use some assistance from teens in other
parts of the country who’ve already been through it.
Any suggestions on organizing and financing would be
appreciated. Address all correspondence to your Youth

en “because we are seeing the consequences of failure,
principally on the part of higher education, to concern
itself with the development of responsible citizenry.”
Tough talk for the education establishment, and it
comes from — the education establishment. Namely,
Dr. John A. Howard, president of Rockford (III.) College,
who criticizes the “uncritical faith in the educational
process in this country” in a recent interview (U.S. News
& World Report). Both parents and young people are
increasingly turned off by higher education, he says,
students feeling that the present system is no longer
valid and parents “deeply concerned about the alienation
or the cynicism or the hostility of their young people
that seem to develop or be augmented while they’re in
college.”
Improvement in the quality of education is only pos
sible if we prosper as it serves students who are there
with serious educational purpose and as it is able to
deliver lively and responsible and worthy educational
service to those serious students.”

Apprentice program standards
( Editor’s Note: Readers
across the country have
requested depth informa
tion on the apprenticeship
program. This column is
intended to provide back
ground and basic infor
mation. )
Congress passed the Na
tional Apprenticeship Law in
1937. Popularly known as the
Fitzgerald Act, it was en
acted “to promote the fur
therance of labor standards
of apprenticeship ... to ex
tend the application of such
standards by encouraging
the inclusion thereof in con
tracts of apprenticeship, to
bring together employers
and labor for the formula
tion of standards of appren
ticeship.” It is an enabling
act without mandatory in
junctions.
As a result, the Federal
Committee on Apprentice
ship was reorganized and en
larged to include equal rep
resentation of employers and
labor, plus a representative
of the U.S. Office of Educa
tion. The Apprentice-Train
ing Service (now the Bureau
of Apprenticeship and Train
ing in the Labor Depart
ment) was established to
carry out objectives of the
law, guided by recommenda
tions of the committee.
Since 1937, the bureau has
worked closely with employ
ers and labor groups, voca
tional schools, state agencies
and others concerned with
industrial apprenticeship
programs. It has field repre
sentatives in all of the 50
states. Its functions are ad
visory and promotional. It
does not conduct training
programs.
About 350 occupations—
most in the construction,
manufacturing, transpor
tation and service industries
—are covered in registered
programs. At work in these
programs are about 250,000
registered apprentices, the
largest number ever.
Certificates of Completion
of Apprenticeship are issued
by state agencies or, where
there are none, by the Bu
reau of Apprenticeship and
Training.
Management and labor
committees develop local
programs. In addition, trade
committees representing na
tional organizations formu
late. with bureau assistance,
policies on apprenticeship in
the various trades and issue
basic standards to be used
by affiliated organizations.
Programs registered by
the Bureau of Apprentice
ship and Training must as

when he was 15. The song
turned out to be the sec

Since then, Paul has
written such popular songs
as Frank Sinatra's "My
Way,” Tom Jones' “She’s
a Lady” and "Johnny’s
Theme” from the Tonight
Show. Still with the pop
scene, the 15-year veteran
has written songs for
Andy Williams. The Part

• Full and fair opportu
nity to apply for apprentice
ship. (In a major new ad
ministration effort to help
minority-group youths, fed
eral regulations governing
equal opportunity in the se
lection of apprentices have
been revised. Secretary of
Labor J. D. Hodgson notes
that “for the first time, the
U.S. Apprenticeship system
will have specific measures
to ensure that minorities
will be afforded full and
equal opportunity in all reg
istered apprenticeship pro
grams.” The new regula
tions require full utilization
of minority persons in ap
prenticeship programs, in
cluding an aggressive re
cruitment effort.)
• Selection of apprentices
based upon qualifications
alone.
• A schedule of work
process in which an appren
tice is to receive training
and experience on the job.
• The program includes
organized instruction de
signed to provide the appren
tice with knowledge in tech
nical subjects related to his
trade (a minimum of 144
hours is normally considered
necessary).
• A progressively increas
ing schedule of wages.
• Proper supervision of
on-the-job training.
• Periodic evaluation of
progress and maintenance of
appropriate records.
• Employe - employer co
operation.
• No discrimination in
any phase of apprenticeship
employment and training.
For persons just starting
out, apprenticeship has im
portant advantages. It offers
an efficient way to learn
skills, the apprentice earns
as he learns and when ap
prenticeship is completed,
the graduate has greater as
surance of a secure future
and good living because
training is in the crafts
where skills are in demand.

WHO IS FRANK MERRIWELL & WHY IS HE COM
ING BACK?—Frank Merriwell was the fictitious super
hero of 50 years ago. He did everything (honestly),
played all sports < successfully) and had no vices. Yet
the college boy kept getting into scrapes because every
one else wasn’t as virtuous. He was the only civilian
Medal of Honor winner and, of course, was a Phi Beta
Kappa.
Frank Merriwell shone as the hero of the best-selling
dime novels created by Burt L. Standish. The life, strug
gles and accomplishments of the wonder boy were com
piled into 245 fascinating volumes. The entire series is
said to have sold over 500 million copies between 1896
and 1931
Some feel that the series helped to shape the so-called
American Ethic, that code by which the establishment
likes to believe it lives. In fact, the publicists claim that
last year Vice President Spiro Agnew publicly acknowl
edged a personal debt, saying that Merriwell has been a
great influence on his life.
The dime-novel hero, who stood for honesty, truth, jus
tice and the American way, is back. But today he costs
95 cents.
SHERMAN’S CONCERN—Bobby Sherman, considered
by many to be the King of Bubblegum, vying onlv with
the Partridge Family for the No. 1 spot, is actually en
gaged in some very worthwhile projects.
Some of the money he’s made from his loyal fans
through concerts and million-selling records is going
back to help them. Bobby has set up the Bobby Sherman
Cancer Research Fund, especially established for young
people. He and some friends will’pay for organizing and
running the fund, which means that all the money re
ceived in contributions will go to research hospitals.
People interested in helping fight cancer through re
search can write to Bobby in care of Screen Gems. 1334

THE KING—“You hardly have anything to report
about the King of Rock, Elvis Presley, the No. 1 singer
in the world. You refer to him as a thing of the past,
‘whose gyrating hips have been seen by the public since
1956.’ Don’t put him down. Elvis has sold more records
than anyone else. He has changed successfully with the
times and his voice gets better with each new record. We
want more Elvis news.”—Elvis fans. Chesapeake. Ohio.
O.K. Jerry Hopkins, an editor of Rolling Stones, inter
viewed people who knew Elvis at one time or another
during his life and compiled a book, "Elvis: A Biogra
phy.” The book sells for $7.95.
Over 50 stations have bought "The Elvis Presley
Story,” a 12-hour radio program adapted by Hopkins
from his book. The 12-part radio show will span the
singer’s life from his nonprofessional days to the pres
ent. Play dates for the syndicated special will be in Octo
ber and November.
