A MUTUAL BENEFIT
By Jim Reynolds
For the past several weeks, the custo
mers of several local merchants were
suprised at the sight of over a dozzen
young men and a young woman performing
any number of tasks around the store.
They hung signs,dressed windows, cleaned
shelves, put up and took down displays
priced merchandise, and in general,
painted a picture of much industry.There
was a small amount of standing around
and shooting the breeze, but they did
get a lotacomplished.
The group were not regular employees.
They were members of the Forsyth Tech,
retailing class on a field trip. The
purpose of the trip was to give the
plass a firtt-hand view of retailing
and the duties that go with it.
The class had about twelve hours of
field trips this quarter. To those who
have never worked in a retail store, the
trips taught them what it was like. To
those who used to work in retail stores
trips reminded them what it was like. To
those who currently work in retail store
the trips abroadened their experience.
The trips alsorpointed out that someone
had to do all of the things they had
done and no employee of a store was ex
empt.
SPILL’LL INK
Don't say things you don't want repeated.
The phrase, "...don't tell anybody, but..."
is the base of all rumor, the root of all
gossip and results in the slander of inno
cents.
In some respects, the trips were a lot
of fun. For example, you .couldn't get
fired. Mr. Stephenson might have you
taken out and shot, but you couldn't get
fired. There were also cokes on the
house. The members of the class allso
had ,qn excellent chance to meet the man
agers of the stores they visited,
which ment a lot of good places to go
job hunting later on.
The students didn’t get paid for their
efforts except in free cokes, satisfact
ion, experience, and business contacts.
Innreturn, the store managers got a lot
of things acomplished.
BUSINESS CLUB RECEIVES CHARTER
It is generally recognized that any
Business administration curriculum pro
duces graduates that know a great deal
of business theory, but lack actual bus
iness experience and business contact.
A new club has been organized at For
syth Tech, to expose the members to the
more basic levels of the business world.
The club is the first Collegiate Chapter
of the Administrative Management Society
in a technical institute. As the name
implies, it is a student chapter of the
AMS, a national orgainization composed
of business leaders throughout the coun
try.
As a member of the club, you will be
able to meet many of the business lead
ers of the Winston-Salem area. These
men and women come to the club meetings
to speak on the various business oppor
tunities in Winston-Salem. As a member
you will meet these people and learn
