Stay In School
And Earn More
WASHINGTON, D. C. -Take a
tip from the experts, “It pays
to stay.” That full-time job
paying S6O a week probably lo
oks good if you are In school
and never seem to be able to
buy the things your classmates
have. But, Finance Facts, a
monthly newsletter on consumer
behavior published by the Nat
ional Consumer Finance Asso
ciation, offers dramatic proof
that it pays to stay in school.
At the age of 19, those who
have completed elementary sc
hool and are working earn about
the same as high school grad
uates because they have the ad
vantage of experience. But, as
the two classifications grow old
er, the income gap widens. At
age 21, four years of high sc
hool on the average, will re
turn 16% more income, and 38%
more over a lifetime. A high
school education will return a
bout $341,000 in contrast to an
elementary school education wh
ich yields $247,000, over a life
time.
The average high school gra
duate reaches an annual income
peak of $8,387 at age 48, as
opposed to the elementary sc
hool graduate who reaches his
peak of $6,054 at age 44.

Chaplain Fran Tuck presented
a very thought-provoking devo
tional based on the scripture
Luke 2:52. She emphasized the
fact that we can never truly say
that we have completed our ed
ucation. However, as Christians,
the members of the Senior Tri-
Hi-Y know that being honest and
truthful is as important as be
ing educated, for honesty is a
part of an all-around education.
Karen O’Kelley,Community
Projects Chairman, described
the success of the October pro
ject and told the members about
the joint community project for
November. Every member is
to bring clothes for needy child
ren ages two to fourteen who
live in a Korean orphanage. Sc

out their purpose which is to
“Create, maintain, and extend,
throughout the home, school, and
community high standards of Ch

ed out that when anyone cheats
in his studies, he hurts not only
himself, but also his parents,
his teachers, his community, and
his God. In closing, he advised

what they have, but not to get
from others what they lack. Af
ter the members repeated the
benediction, the meeting was ad
