Area Tech School
Holds Graduation
Thursday, Sept. 21
“Commencement means to
‘commense.’ Your job has
started with this commence
ment; now begin to fulfill the
other part of your job by
becoming a master of your
trade.” Such was the challenge
offered by C. J. Allen to the
graduating class at Ben Hill-
Irwin Tech last Thursday
night.
Terming his address “De
cision and Challenge,’’Allen,
Administrator of C offee Gen
eral Hospital in Douglas, said
that everyone faces decision
many times in life, but every
one feces challenge everyday.
“Education,” he said, “is an
undeniable asset to meet chal
lenge today.” He described
the world as being in confusion
because of personal non
involvement, general accept
ance of mediocrity in perform
ance, “goof-off” and half-done
jobs. But he reminded the
graduates that their training
should enable them to rise
above this confusion and make
tiie choice of becoming
masters of their trade.
“You cannot afford to insult
your intelligence by changing
your ABC’s of ability, beliefs,
and character to avoid, bam
boozle, and cheat. You cannot
become a master by doing as
little as possible or no more
than the next person does.
Don’t resist change in your
job; promote it!”
Then, reminding the class
that he was speaking as an
employer, he continued, “No
employer is willing to pay you
for your presence, but he is
glad to pay you for your ex
cellence - your self and your

We don’t build power plants
to run electric toothbrushes.
We have to build them to supply our customers'
air-conditioning demands.
Our peak load, or heaviest use of electricity,
comes during hot, humid weather. When everyone
is trying desperately to keep cool. And air condi
tioners are running full-blast. There must be enough
capacity on our system to meet this seasonal peak.
Enough to operate your work-saving appliances,
too. Power modern hospitals and schools, as well as
industries that provide jobs. Light up traffic signals
and darkened streets. For the hundreds of vital tasks
you could list after thinking awhile.
To supply all the clean, reliable electric energy
you need, it’s necessary to build. In just two years,
we’ve had to spend more than S7OO million for con
struction. That doesn’t include operating expenses
or interest on borrowed money.
You wouldn’t invest all those millions of dollars
just to run an electric toothbrush.
And neither would we.
