(.60) The trainee, seated, being guided at a typewriter by a standing woman in a sweater and plaid skirt; her left hand holds a microphone. (.61) The trainee leans over his open suitcase, which rests on a narrow metal cot; he holds a pair of loafers; a thick white terrycloth bathrobe is to the left of his suitcase. (.62) The trainee, holding a microphone, holds open a coffee pot while a dark haired female instructor in sweater and plaid skirt demonstrates measuring coffee in front of a stove and kitchen window. (.63) The trainee, holding a microphone, sits in front of the desk of Dr. Thomas E. Caulfield, as Caulfield speaks. Caulfield has short hair combed to one side, wears glasses, and has a dark suit jacket and a plaid bowtie. (.64) The trainee, holding a microphone and a portable tape recorder, walks across a herringbone brick floor, toward a large mobile chalkboard on wheels; an instructor in suit and tie, with short white hair and thick glasses, stands to the side of the board.
