1969 as a recreational
worker.
Being an excellent
athlete and having a
natural affinity for the
young men housed at the
center, he made his job a
success-so much so, in
fact, that for the next two
summers during college
vacation, he returned to
Joliet to assist in the coor-
dination of sports and
recreational activities.
In June 1971. Jimmy was
hired as a full-time youth
supervisor While assum-
ing the responsibilities that
job entails, he continued to
assit in the development of
summer and winter sports
activities for students at
the center In 1972, Jimmy
assisted in research being
conducted on recidivisim
This experience, coupled
with those he received as a
youth supervisor, encour-
aged him to continue his
education. He transfered
all his credits from Hen-
derson County College in
Texas to Lewis University
at I.ockport and began
working toward a degree in
social work.
Jimmy obtained his
bachelor of science degree
from Lewis University in
January 1975 and, when an
opening for a correctional
counselor arose at the
Illinois Youth Center-
Kankakee. he transfered
there from the Joliet
center Although he enjoy-
ed his work with Superin-
tendent Andrew Rucker
and the students at Kanka-
kee, Jimmy's heart was at
Joliet and in September
1975. he transferred back
as a counselor
Jimmy is a real asset to
the clinical staff at Joliet.
He has the ability to under-
stand and perceive
situations from both pro-
gram and security points of
view He relates well with
the students and because of
his experiences, he has
been able to interface the
theorelical with the prag-
matic as it relates to get-
ting the job done
When asked what he
believes to be the most
important asset in working
with delinquent youths.
Jimmy doesn't hesitate.
"The ability to develop
trust is paramount. Once
trust is established, you
can then communicate
effectively. Through
effective communication,
you can begin to foster
change. Changed attitudes
and viewpoints will be
helpful to the student when
he leaves Joliet."

Vote for
Sam B. Hall
for Congress June 5
Read what others are saying about Sam Hall
Abher V. McCall,
President, Baylor University.
"I've known Sam B. Hall, Jr. since he
enrolled in the School of Law of Baylor
University 30 years ago and was in my law
classes. He was an excellent student and a
fine young man. I've observed his career as
a practicing lawyer and a civic leader. He's
an intelligent, informed, active citizen
with a proven record of public concern and
service. He's been a credit to his profession,
his church, his city and his state. He's a
man of mature and responsible judgment, of
sound and balanced political philosophy,
and of unquestionable honor and integrity.
I recommend him to the voters of the First
Congressional District of Texas who might
not have had the privilege of knowing him
as I have."
Dr. H. D. Bruce,
President Emeritus,
East Texas Baptist College.
"I think Sam Hall has the ability,
personality and character to follow a great
man in our Congress. He's a gentleman of
the first order. I think he will do his best
to represent not only his district but our
country at a time when it needs great and
honest men in its service. His character is
above reproach. I think he'll serve with
honor, strength and ability."
Kilgore News Herald.
"It seems to us that the First District would
be fortunate indeed to have Sam Hall as
its Congressman. He's a man of high integrity,
outstanding ability and sound principles.
Mr. Hall is a successful Baylor-trained
attorney, a mature family man, a Christian
gentleman. Those who know him best are
confident he's the type of man who is so
desperately needed to restore confidence in
the nation's Congress."
Cass County Sim &
Atlanta Times.
"Unlike many of the other candidates,
Hall has shown considerable depth of
understanding of the issues facing the
country. The stands he has taken have been
accompanied with explanations of'those
issues and all the factors involved. He has
not gone about the District spouting slogans
and platitudes hoping to win votes. He has
rejected the opportunity to get involved in
some issues for purely political reasons
He has displayed a sense of statesmanship
as a candidate."
Marshall News
Messenger.
"Only once in a very great while does a
person come forth who is so fully qualified
to serve as a U.S. Congressman as Sam B.
Hall, Jr., of Marshall. Unequivocally, we
believe that he's thé best person, regardless
of party affiliation, to succeed the late
Congressman Wright Patman. Hall's
character is irreproachable. As one attorney,
a frequent foe of Hall's in the courtroom,
said, 'Sam Hall is so honest he could n'ever
be anyone's man but his own. No one nor
any organization will ever control him.' "
Vote For SAM HALL June 5th!
