Acid Bottling, Odd Jobs, Fill Day
Of Bureau of Recommendatians

by Katrina Thomas ’49

Every kind of job, from reading
to Dr. Hubbard and showing art
slides on campus to directing
sports at a nearby day school, and
jobs for after graduation, are found
by the Bureau of Recommenda-
tions, Room H, Taylor Hall. Here
Miss Bates handles both requests
of students for specific work (like
exercising horses) and the requests
of various organizations for will-
ing hands (like filling acid bottles
down at the chem. lab. or picking

apples at a neighboring farm). |

Last year the bureau failed to
fill only about 30 last-minute baby-
sits, one piano request and the de-
sires of various businesses for cam-
pus agencies. Before the war
campus agencies for selling maga-
zines and sweaters did a booming
business, but today there is little
interest in this salesman work.
Baby-sits, once the most demand-

ed type of employment, have fallen
off considerably and Miss Bates
has some difficulty in finding such
exciting and lucrative work else-
where.

A record of every class- office,
every extra-curricular activity, ev-
ery varsity team, every kind of
employment that each student has
participated in is kept’ by the bu-
reau, which, in the event of the
student’s graduation, sends the
material up to Mrs. Crenshaw’s of-
fice, on the third floor of Taylor,
where the invisible machinery of
brunning an employment bureau is
situated.

Here a directory of employers
interested in college girls for sum-
mer jobs and permanent positions
is made up in conjunction with
other colleges. Here are the files,
a record of jobs held by each al-
umna who has used the bureau at

ent jobs available to graduating
seniors and alumnae. Mrs. Cren-
shaw and the undergraduate Vo-
cational Committee instigate con-
ferences at which speakers from
various business fields talk about
their work. She also arranges for
recruiters, particularly in ‘the
fields of government and science,
to speak to interested seniors, and
continues aiding alumnae long after
graduation in finding suitable and
interesting careers.

knowledges the receipt of a pe-

ities to meet men through so-

ing taken to comply with this
request.
