"Being a stewardess was the
greatest experience I've ever had!"
asserted Janet Selman, USC
senior, about her summer job with
Pan American Airlines.
Meeting specific requirements,
which included being at least 20
years old, five feet three to five
feet nine and having a reasonable
knowledge of a foreign language,
Miss Selman last summer arranged
for her personal interview in New
York City. Afterward she began a
four-week course at a stewardess
training school in Miami, Fla.
She was instructed in personal
grooming, c h i I d care, first aid,
cooking and safety devices used on
planes. Psychology was employed

it the school in "weeding out" the
girls most likely to panic (luring
in emergency, she said.
The USC coed referred to her
job as a "feast and famine" career.
'When you're on a plane, you're
really working hard. When you
step off the plane you have the
rest of the day
to have fun!"
- After each
flight a stew

at least 48
hours of rest
before she re
turns to work,
she said.

many duties. These included pre
paring seven-course meals and any
thing else necessary in making 120
people happy.
Janet confessed, "I used to think
it didn't take brains to be a stew
ardess. I've 1 e a r n e d differently
now. A stewardess also needs lots
of concentration to keep track of
which passenger w a n t s what."
After a while, she said, a stew
ardess can tell by just looking at a
passenger what he will be like.
Upon completion of training, a
stewardess r e c e i v e s $382.28 a

months. This figure does not in

ous situations arose from prepar
ing food for t h e s e passengers.
These situations ranged from hav
ing peas roll all over the plane to
having a champagne cork shoot
over the heads of passengers.
"When a girl lives at college, she
learned how to get along with all
peers. By being a stewardess, I
learned how to get along with all
kinds of people, including myself,"
Mliss Selman said.
"A person can learn as much
from traveling as from college. I
know I cert",nly have. I advise
every girl to try her wings!" she
