Miss Schmidt has b en caught in one of her rarest attitudes, Although Mr. Leonard is dictating a letter to Dora Harthun, office girl, probably about Harold being given a two Weeks' leave, his mind keeps wandering to his other duties. At the same time he may be Wondering if someone got the Wax for the dance floor for the Boys' Club Dance, how he can change Mary Smith's program so she will be free the last two periods, or Why those N.Y.A. students haven't turned in their time. He may even be advising a bright senior on the best collegeto go to, making out an assignment for his American Problems class or calling Mr. Lockhart about some school problqgn. sitting down Ev n tnen she is checking T B X ray slips with Mar- garet Klucker, one of the office girls. Any other day you will find her dashing through the office to see if everything is in shape for the Carnival, or Whether the Thanksgiving baskets are filled or planning a Girls' Club party. She may even be consoling lanie Who just lost her lipstick or advising her What to Wear to a dance or warning that those fingernails have to be cut be- fore she comes to typing class. Miss Schmidt is a busy woman, so step aside and give her room.
