needs explanation to those only who do not possess it there are various ways of estimating a man's ability interviewers base their opinions greatly on extracurricular activ ities on knowledge of current events and on r o t c work but scholastic standing is not over looked personality defies defini tion but if a senior has a good outward appearance intelligence and feeling the interviewer is under the impression that the sen ior has personality continued on page four seniors want a job keep your spine approximately erect and sit on the end of it not in the middle look intelligently into the in terviewer's eyes but do not stare at him as though he were some prehistoric creature let your speech be articulate the interviewer has the right to hear what you are saying although perhaps you are not sure yourself this is the advice as set down by e robins morgan director of placement in his recently pub lished pamphlet entitled senior placement information the pur pose of the pamphlet is
