Abstract
The Girl Friday Club was founded in 1964
as a social club for secretaries and female office workers of Indiana University. It
was run by a Steering Committee that planned luncheons, entertainment, and outings
for the women in order to encourage familiarity among women working in different
departments. The scrapbook covers activities from 1964-1972 with a few papers about
the activities of 1975.
Access Restrictions
Collection is open for research. Advance notice required.
Administrative History
The Girl Friday Club was an organization for the female secretaries and office
workers of Indiana University. The idea for the Girl Friday Club is attributed to
Jack Ray, IU’s Director of Personnel. The notion was that a social club for these
women would foster friendships that would lead to interdepartmental cooperation.
The club was run by a Steering Committee which organized luncheons, generally
occurring monthly or bimonthly throughout the school year, open to any woman in the
club. These luncheons would have entertainment in the form of speakers,
demonstrations, and singers. The last year of club activity documented in this
collection was 1975.
Arrangement
The Collection consists of a scrapbook and a few loose papers.
Scope and Content Note
The scrapbook in this collection contains information about the Club’s founding,
newspaper articles, Steering Committee roster for 1964-1972, information on awards
and events, and comics regarding the profession of a female office worker. The loose
papers are the 1972-1973 Steering Committee Roster, a 1975 newspaper article, an
invite to an undated outing, and an undated roster.
