EDITORS COMMENTS
A Roaring Good Time at Miss Jones' Secretarial College! (circa 20th century) Step right up and join us for a peek into the lively world of Miss Jones' Secretarial College! This comic postcard, dated back to the 20th century, captures the essence of office training in an era when shorthand and typing skills were the keys to unlocking a promising career. In this scene, we find ourselves in the midst of an engaging classroom session. A young, attractive woman, dressed in a vibrant red dress, sits confidently on a lapdesk, her notebook poised and ready to record every word her tutor utters. Her fellow students, all women, are equally focused, their expressions a mix of determination and amusement. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of two men, one with a quizzical look on his face, the other, a dapper gentleman, trying to hide his chuckles. The man on the left, with a smirk and a monocle, seems to be having a hard time containing his laughter as he watches the women in their earnest preparation. In the background, we see other students engrossed in their work, their expressions ranging from intense concentration to outright hilarity. The overall atmosphere is one of fun and learning, a perfect reflection of the excitement and anticipation that comes with acquiring new skills. This delightful postcard, reminiscent of the iconic Donald McGill comic postcards, is a testament to the spirit of camaraderie and the joy of learning that defined secretarial colleges during this era. So sit back, relax, and let the laughter and learning wash over you as you take in the charming scene at Miss Jones' Secretarial College!
