American Education Week October 21-27, 1973
The theme of National Education is GET INVOLVED. Parents
and other citizens throughout the nation should visit schools
during American Education Week.
Jobs Available in Europe
for Graduating Students
“Jobs for young people 18
to 29 are now available in
Europe anytime of the year,”
said Dr. F. X. Gordon,
President of Princeton
Research. “The European
Common Market employment
rate is 50 percent less than
that of the United States. The
job availability for 1974 High
School and College graduates
in the United States is not so
rosy. There are more young
people entering the job
seeking market than there are
suitable jobs”.
Many graduating High
School Seniors, and college
students are wisely following
the advice of education
experts by planning to take a
year off from the academic
treadmill to stretch the mind
by working and travelling.
Jobs Europe is a program
designed to give young people,
18 to 29 years of age, an
inexpensive and unique
opportunity to live in, and
learn about, Europe. In the
past 13 years jobs have been
found in Europe for 10,823
young people. Three thousand
jobs are now available
anytime of the year - Winter,
Spring, Summer, and Fall.
These guaranteed salaried
jobs are mostly for trainees
(general help) as
stewardesses and stewards on
trains, with large 1st class
hotels, restaurants,
supermarkets, department
stores, etc. in Switzerland,
England, and Belgium. Most
of the jobs include room- and
board in addition to local
salary. Friends can work
together, or near each other, if
they apply together.
Interested students are
asked to send a stamped self-
addressed (business size)
envelope to: Jobs Europe,
2350 Bean Creek Road, Santa
Cruz, California 95060, for free
information.

Poster
Contest Is
Big Success
Janice Joyner
This year the Fire Drill
Committee decided to sponsor
a poster contest. Homerooms,
clubs, classes, or the
individual could enter this
contest. The contest was held
from September 20 through
October 1. These posters were
supposed to illustrate fire
prevention. This contest
provided an opportunity for
the students to be involved in
school activities.
The First Period
Distributive Education class
was awarded first prize for
the contest. They received an
engraved plaque for their
outstanding job on the poster.
The Committee extends
thanks to all who participated
in the contest. The slogan used
by the Fire Drill Committee
is: During your life, do all you
can to prevent fires.

Daktar-Diplomat of
Bangladesh is the dramatic
story of Dr. Viggo B. Olsen’s
phenomenal surgical-
diplomatic-wartime-
adventures - and the bloody
birth of Bangladesh.
Dr. Viggo Olsen is a
diplomat of the American
Board of Surgery and a fellow
of the American College of
Surgeons. He was born and
raised in Omaha, Nebraska
and took premedical studies
at Tulane University, New
Orleans. He was a graduate at
the University of Nebraska
College of Medicine, and he
was the youngest of four in his
class to receive the M.D.
degree cum laude. Dr. Olsen
declined the opportunity to
become sixth in the
prestigious Halsted lineage of
surgeons and a professor at an
early age. Instead, he flew to
the other side of the world to
serve East Pakistanis in pain.
With his collegues. Dr. Olsen
founded a hospital in the
southern section of East
Pakistan’s Chittagong
District where modern
medical care was unknown.
He wrote and published the
Muslim Bengali to English
Dictionary, the first such
pocket dictionary ever printed
in the nation.
“The late afternoon sun
acted wisely. It slipped
through the low-lying clouds
and escaped to a safer land
beyond the Bay of Bengal. The
time had come to face the
harsh realities of night which
now enveloped blood-
drenched Bangladesh.”
“ ‘Daktar Sahib! I have
terrible news for you -
terrible news! The armed
bandits are coming tonight to
attack you and the hospital.
Daktar Sahib, what will you
do?’ ”
“How does a man get
himself in a fix like this? ....
Some say that the whole
lifetime of a condemned man
may pass before his mind’s
eye in that last minute before
he dies .... I had over an hour
to prepare and wait.... In an
instant of time my mind ....
