THE BUSINESS WORLD
Last week a group of the business
students sallied forth into the busi
ness Avorld. They Avere distributed
among various offices in town to get
practice in secretarial Avork. Doubt
less their experiences Avould fill a
book, but from talking to them Ave
receiv'ed two distinct impressions.
First, business students that do prac
tice work have a super-wonderful
time. Second, people in offices really
don’t do any Avork. They just sit
around and drink cokes and talk
about Avhat they are going to name
their children.
The night after their first day of
work, all of the business students got
together in their department and told
all the funny things that had hap
pened to them.
Marian Darden had been so ex
cited about her job and in such a
hurry to get there and make a good
impression that she fell all the way
down the steps and rolled into her
office. After the staff picked her up
she Avas awfully embarrassed to haA'e
to say, “I’ve come to Avork here.”
Margaret Tull nearly lost her
teeth when she was introduced to her
employer thus, “Miss Tull, this is
Mr. Gull. Mr. Gull, Miss Tull.”
Apparently Betsy Burgess is a Avork-
ing fiend, for it took the mayor’s
whole force to persuade her to stop
typing long enough to walk around
the room and rest up. And if you
want to know Avhat a linotype ma
chine is, just ask Loulie Murchison.
She knows now.
