(Continued lrom Page 4) ooWe've had all kinds of goofy promotions," professor John told us, "but this project is the most rewarding thing that we have ever done-not only businesswise, but just a plain feeling of satisfaction, The 'students' came up and actually THANKED us for the community service we were providing by holding the school." The ooshack" ? Well, if anyone would like to buy a beautiful little two bedroom home, sparkling new and ready to move in two sections, you might write professor Pearson at 230 Hookston Road, Pleasant Hill. John would like to sell the home to recoup his advertising and materials costs -*and make way for another school next fall.

The Pearson o'school" consisted of two classes, 9 to l0 and a repeat class from ll to 12. "Professors" were usually representatives of a supplier and a competent mechanic was on hand to demonstrate" happy to put in the time free of charge in exchange for leads on future remodeling jobs, we might add.

But the best part was the fact that the o'students" did the work. Any student completing four out of the ten courses was given a "diploma" which entitles him to a 10!6 discount at Pearson Lumber Company for the rest of his life.

Besides the building trades unions, Pearson received excellent cooperation from the Contra Costa building department u'hich had a building inspector in attendance at the electrical, plumbing and wall frarning classes.
