A prize story of such an occasion rises to mind: The speaker, as he was going into the auditorium to address the graduates, was searching for a concrete illustration to clinch the main point of his address. As he entered the door to the auditorium, he saw it: “PUSH”, written on the door handle.
He gave-his address, emphasizing the necessity of constant work and persistence as a prerequisite to success.
“Your key word to future success lies in a word you will find on the door to this auditorium,” the speaker declaimed. “It is by this alone that you can hope to succeed in your future undertaking.”
Whereupon, each young graduate turned around and looked. There it was, plainly printed: “PT7TT”
The principal of one of the high schools in the county refused to let his picture be put in the paper. (Of course, no one would tell which principal or which _ school this was) One of the printers at Rappahannock News begged and pleaded, but to no avail, the professor had more excuses and reasons than a dog has fleas. Threats were thrown bpt that hadno effect either.
The professor might as well know that he escaped retaliation •by a slim margin. The printer knows his sister, and the average person cannot conceive the will-, power exercised in resisting the temptation to go to this sister and borrow a baby picture—preferably, the one, aged 12-or-eo months, in his birthday suit flat
It is an opportune moment fo notify the professor now that the
•ture, it’d better be furnished.
The poor old printers on the corner in Washington (who try to see that.Rappahannock News gets put in the mail each week) have developed inferiority complexes of the first order. You see, they had been |n the county only a few weeks when they were told that the trouble with printers was “they don’t know anything but printing.” That was sufficient to set us back several notches, but then we got to thinking. Mr. Willie Compton was a printer for over BO years and he’ll frankly admit there is much about printing he doesn’t know for he didn’t have time to learn it all. Now, take all of us printers and add up our years „of experience in printing and the sum will not even total that of Mr. Willie. Our ignorance is growing by leaps and bounds! Ah, well, you’ve heard the expression: “Just as happy as if I had good sense.”
