I found this in College Typewriting, Complete Course, 6th edition, by Lessenberry and Wanous. It’s dated 1959 and is just filled to overflowing with stupefying typewriter drills. I did note, however, that the Miss Harriet L. Brock of this particular exercise, had to give quite a bit of information in her application letter and data sheet. While I was busy being perfectly horrified by that data sheet, I almost missed the most important information entirely.

It seems the 5′ 4″, 110-pound, unmarried Miss Brock had three years of an Economics degree from Columbia behind her before asking for this secretarial position. Columbia. University.

By my calculation, Miss Brock would be 72 years-old right now. I wonder which way she’d vote in the upcoming election . . .
