Business
Flare
These kids are developing a flair for business.
In fact, they’re selling flares as part of their
highway safety kits.
They’re Junior Achievers. They’re learning
about business by getting into business.
Guided by volunteer advisors from sponsor
ing companies, they form and operate their
own. They take the legal steps of incorporation
and raise capital by selling public stock. They
produce and advertise and market their prod
ucts. and they pay dividends from their profits.
Then they liquidate their assets at the end of
the year to make room for other companies and
new Achievers next year.
Kids learning about the American way of
business — that’s what Junior Achievement is
all about. And we’re proud to be a part of it.

a lot of hands for her.
Friday night at the first general

Bonnie and Clyde.
At 12:30 which was our cur
few we fell in bed because we
were exhausted.
We rose quite early Saturday
morning because the second gen
eral session was at 8:30. The
theme for this session was “Your
Country and Mine’’. It was very
impressive. We were shown
slides of patriotic places and a
song was sung by the Murphy
High Chorus group for each slide.
Our main speaker for this session
was the Honorable George T.
Smith.
Later on the VICA STORY
was given by Tommy Greer, a
former national officer from
Griffin.
We were fortunate enough to
meet our national president from
Georgia, Miss Lynn Register.
While we attended this meet
ing Teresa Martin was at State
Finals at Atlanta Tech. She won
4th place.
After lunch campaign speeches
were made and all delegates
voted. Teresa wasn’t elected,
but it was very close. There
was a run off between her and
another candidate. Throughcam-

Saturday night we attended the
Annual Awards Banquet. We were
served a very nice meal and then
the program began.
Sunday morning we slept late
and our chaperones attended
church while we packed. We
really weren’t ready to come
home and we hated to leave all
of our newly acquainted friends.
We had attended the confer

chaperones. We were really
sorry to see Sunday morning
come, but all good things must
come to an end. We can all say
we had a very good time and we
learned a lot. We are looking
forward to a better time next
year. (Elizabeth Hodges).
