THE CHOWANIAN, FEBRUARY 1959 Vocations Week Program Given Here By B. S. U. Points Up Several Professions By AUDREY MARRINER Dedicated Vocations Week, sponsored by the Baptist Student Union began in chapel on Sun day, February 15, with guest speaker Van Cuthrell, coach of Murfreesboro High School, speaking on “What Does Coach ing Have To Offer You?”. Coach Cuthrell told all would-be coaches that “you can’t win them all.’’ Coaching has its ups and downs just as any other profession. A good coach must have discipline, organization, cooperation, and an understand ing wife. The coach must serve in many capacities as an ad- ministrar, trainer, janitor, and above all else, a teacher. Coach Cuthrell concluded his interest ing talk with this comment to all who plan to become coaches: “You have an exciting life to look forward to.” Vespers were held in the rec reation room of the girls dorm. Rev. Jack Painter of Ashley’s Grove Baptist Church spoke on “Ministry as a Vocation.” He rrmirded all that a minister is not a peddler of notions. What a minister has to sell cannot be weighed in the commercial world. A preacher is many things. He is: God’s representa tive to his people, an example and guide, a soul physician, and the chief soul-winner in his com munity. The minister’s crowning task is that of evangelism. Medicine as a Career Vespers on Tuesday, February 17, was conducted by Dr. A. A. McLean, Murfreesboro physi cian. He gave a general run down of medicine as a career. The preparation to become a doctor includes four years of college work, four years in med ical school, and two years intern ship. Surgery requires five more years of work. The advantages of being a doctor, as Dr. McLean saw it, lies in a personal contact with many people. He said there are disadvantages of being a doctor, such as much hard work, and giving all your time to those who call at any hour of the day or night. Dr. McLean had one warn ing: If you’re not interested in people, don’t go into medicine You would be better off in me chanics. The chapel speaker for Wed nesday, February 18, was Ruth Oakes, Superintendent of the Rra'oke Rapids School of Nurs ing. Mrs. Oakes made it clear that the role of a nurse is not as glamorous as sometimes pictured. Many hours of work and strain are required. A nurse must be in good h e a 1 t h—mentally, physically, aid spiritually. A love for one’s fellowman is essential in quali fying to be a nurse. A nurse must like people regardless of who they are. Understanding a-d good judgment are found in successful nurses. Poise, unend ing patience, imagination and a sense of humor are other impor tant qualifications. The Lawyer Mr. Guy Revelle was the vespers speaker for February 18. His subject was “Law as a Profession.” Preoaration for law shruld include a good liberal arts college before law school. A good background in English gram mar, creative writing, and busi ness administration is essential in the law profession. The field of law gives one opportunity to serve his fellow man. Every day offers something new and dif ferent. One misrepresentation of the law career is that lawyers make great rewards financially. Mr. Revelle assured the group that this is a misrepresentation. (Ed.’s note: Many do!) Mr. George Gibbs, member of the Board of Trustees, spoke on “Business as a Career” in ves pers on Thursday, February 19. Business, according to Mr. Gibbs, gives one an opportunity to be his own boss, opportunity to serve, and a chance for per manency. One disadvantage is that businesses have been known to fail. Mr. Gibbs said that regardless of what we do to earn a living, our business should be to serve God. The Ministry Chapel services on Friday, February 20, was held by college students. Robert Brown, a min ister in Windsor, and also a Chowan student, discussed “Min- istery as a Profession.” The basic requirement of a minister is to be called of God. Ministers are not just born good, or en dowed with special perfectness, but get their goodness from their Lord. A minister must be proud of his profession. He must put God first, get joy out of his religion, be a good organizer, leader, and follower. Ministers must be able to face every situa tion that may confront them. Mr. Brown said that God can use you in any field-if you can use Him. Mrs. Marguerite Miller, Cho wan Administrative Secretary, was the speaker for vespers on February 20. Mrs. Miller offered these advantages in a secretar- al profession: Chances for ad vancement, usually a 40-hour week, and good working condi tions. Men as well as women may be secretaries. In some cases, men are preferred. Seventy thou sand out of one million secre taries are men. A word of advice: A good sec retary does more than is ex pected of him. (Chowanian Faculty Advisor’s Note: Since the School of Print ing was not on the Vocations Week program, it may be well to enlighten readers as to a few advantages in Printing or Graph ic Arts as a profession. Not a sinele one of the professions pre viously mentioned in this report could successfully exist without the products produced by the printing and publishing profes sion. The salaries paid in the printing and newspaper indust ries are the second highest of any in America. Opportunities for advancement lead up to ex ecutive positions that pay $7, 000, $10,000, $25,000 annually and up, and there is always the op - portunity to own your newspaper or commercial printing busi ness.) 47 Students Win Scholastic Honors According to J.
