My sophomore year, feeling guilty and broke and desperate for money to spend, I found a job working as a file clerk in the Alumni Relations office. I basically had the pleasure of putting any clippings or correspondence or miscellaneous other papers into associated files created for each and every alumnus of the College, whether graduated or not.
The filing task was quite boring and was my entire job (that I recall). I did, though, enjoy reading some of the clippings and other things that I found in the files, digging through these files:
- I got to see some of the famous people who went to Wooster
- A copy of an essay or article explaining how religion and science don't have to be at odds over everything.
- Information related to the Scopes Monkey trial.
- A file for the ex-wife of a business owner from my home area.
- Rather large files for some people of the more proliferate people and business leaders.
I enjoyed digging through this information and learning some history. Unfortunately, after one all-nighter to get a paper of some sort done, I fell asleep at work and was woken by my boss. That was excused, but I later decided to end my employment on my own.
