Just 7 Eight To Five -- Eight To Five Marjorie A. Burke—critic—on part time appointment to this faculty since 1927—graduated from Superior State in 1931 with a B. Ed. degree—a graduate student at Teachers College. Columbia University, during summers of '32 and '34—her great ambition is to start out in her car and go on a long trip—she doesn't care where— music and horseback riding both rate pretty high with her, too. Try as we may, we couldn't inveigle any autobiographical material from members of the Administrative Staff, each maintaining that she led an uninteresting existence, just eight to five— eight to five. They weren't willing to talk about themselves, but they would tattle on their co-workers. Their tattling gave us this: Gladys Bock — financial secretary, receiving the position in 1930—was appointed to the College in 1925, however. as the Training School's secretary —used to live in South End—balancing accounts is her hobby (and her bread-and-butter). Lorraine M. Boyle—State's new faculty secretary—succeeded Zelda Soroka in that position at mid-term—her friends call her Tiny (and she is)— needlework is her favorite pursuit after school hours — she likes to putter around in the kitchen, too. Mabel McKinnon—Secretary to the President since 1928—has been on the office force since 1921—likes to play the market (according to the President) —that coupe of her's isn't just a luxury, long trips by motor being her favorite pastime. Harriet Sher—Miss Sutliff's successor in the Placement Bureau—she wouldn't talk, and her new friends had nothing to say—we couldn't get her picture, either—hence, we can only record her name and position. Irene Sutliff—former secretary of the Placement Bureau—resigned in March to take over a Forest Service job—an alumna of the College. Class of '29— appointed to the staff the year after her graduation. Joyce Williams—recorder in the Office of the Registrar—appointed to the Administrative Staff in 1925—she's the one who checks up on your credits, cuts, courses, and knows all the statistics—those Valentines we sometimes get at mid-term go out under her direction, too—she knows all the Owls and Serpents and the flunks—her hobby is twos, threes, and fours . Yes. Zolda really has a call—this isn't a posed picture, although the expression on the others' faces would make one think so. It’s in the Administrative Office, if you haven't recognized it.
