ANISE COOKIES
These are my favorite cookies. The recipes for them and for
for the honey cookies and macaroons are old German recipes from
my grandmother, Mrs. E. Marschall of Llano, who is over 90 years
old.
1 pound sugar (2 cups) butter (size of walnut)
1 pound flour (4 cups) 1 level teaspoon soda
4 eggs, beaten anise seed
Add sugar gradually to beaten eggs. Add butter and soda, dis
solved in a little water. Then add flour. Turn dough out on board
and, using a special rolling pin with indented designs, roll the dough.
Cut the cookies.
Dust towel with flour, sprinkle anise seed on this and place
cookies on seeds. Leave overnight. Next morning, bake on waxed,
buttered or floured baking tin until cookies will “slip” on tin. Cookies
will be just barely tinged with brown. They are a rather hard
cookie, delicious served with coffee.
HONEY COOKIES
These are a wonderful cookie, a family favorite. They are crisp
when first made, then get chewy after a few days. They can. be
stored indefinitely.
1 pound honey 1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pound sugar teaspoon cloves
Vz glass rum % teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon soda grated rind of Vz lemon
1 pound pecans, cut fine 3 pounds flour
Heat honey in large granite pan, add sugar and stir until dissolved.
Add soda, dissolved in a little water, remove from heat and add rum,
pecans, spices and flour.
Turn onto molding board and work until smooth. Roll, cut into
strips 2 inches wide, then into cakes 1 or 2 inches. Place on a
floured cloth overnight. Bake next morning on waxed cookie sheeti
in 350-degree oven until light brown.
MACAROONS
Mother and Gran both make the lightest, melt-in-your-mouth
cookie you can imagine from this recipe.
1 pound sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pound shredded pecans Vz teaspoon cloves
4 egg whites, beaten stiff Vz teaspoon nutmeg
rind of % lemon, grated
Beat egg whites on platter until stiff. Add sugar. Add nuts
and spices and place mixture by teaspoonfuls on waxed cookie sheet.
Bake until cookies slip when touched with a spatula.
CHICKEN WIGGLE
Don’t know how it got its name, but this' is a favorite of Mom
Fuller and our family,
1 hen 1 can mushrooms or cream
1 pound egg noodles of mushroom soup
2 onions Worcestershire sauce
1 small can pimentos salt and pepper
and juice 2 bell peppers
1 can English peas Vz pound butter or fat
from hen
Cook hen until tender and cut into bite-sized pieces. Cook
butter, onions, peppers and pimentos together until tender. Cook
noodles in broth until tender. Combine all ingredients and simmer
30 minutes.

“‘PRESCRIPTION SERVICE YOU WILL LIKE”
1 " I I ” I
‘What’s it like to work for a big, ex
panding company like IBM? What
would I be asked to do? Would I get
ahead fast?” These were some of the
questions that filled Bob Everett’s
mind as he faced up to the big prob
lem, “How can I put my M.B.A.
training to the best possible use?”
Bob came directly to IBM from
Cornell in July, 1955, with an M.B.A.
in finance. He was immediately as
signed, with twenty-nine other
M.B.A.’s, to a Business Adminis
tration training program. This six
months’ program comprised general
orientation in the entire IBM organi
zation, a six weeks’ field trip to the
“What’s it like to be in
BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
AT IBM?”
Two years ago, Robert Everett asked himself this question. Today, as
Administrative Assistant to the Divisional Controller, Bob reviews his
experience at IBM and gives some pointers that may be helpful to you in
taking the first, most important step in your business career.
Why Bob picked IBM
Bob made a careful study of existing
opportunities before selecting IBM
for his career. He had a dozen campus
interviews; took nine company tours.
IBM’s M.B.A. program interested
him—because, as he says, “It gave
me a chance to review the entire
company before starting an actual
line assignment.” He was intrigued
by the increasing use of data process
ing equipment in finance and he knew
that IBM was a leader in this field.
Salary-wise, he found IBM better
than many, but it was company
growth potential that motivated his
choice. “Opportunity certainly exists
Filtering out the “hot” projects
Promoted the same year
By December of the same year, Bob
was promoted to his present job—
Administrative Assistant to the Con
troller of the Data Processing Divi
sion. “The first function of an
Administrative Assistant,” says Bob,
“is to filter out the ‘hot’ projects
from those that can be handled later.
You follow through on projects as
signed by the controller and keep

Developing a new system
Syracuse branch office and several
months at the Poughkeepsie manu
facturing facilities. There he gained a
functional knowledge of IBM ma
chines, particularly the 700 series of
giant electronic computers.
His training completed by January,
1956, B ob was assigned to the Methods
Department as a Methods Analyst at
IBM World Headquarters in New
York City. Here, with the cooperation
of operating department personnel, he
worked on the development of systems
and procedures for the various Divi
sion areas. In addition to normal
methods techniques used in develop
ing systems and procedures, he studied
these projects in terms of possible
machine application for either IBM
high-speed giant computers or con
ventional accounting equipment. One
project was the study of the Machine
Ordering procedure with the objective
of simplifying and mechanizing it and
at the same time improving the source
information to provide for a more
complete analysis of sales and pro
duction backlog.
Keeping the boss posted
him posted on their progress.” Bob’s
new position affords a pleasant diver
sification of work: charting divisional
responsibilities of the controller’s func
tion .. . plans for decentralization ...
costs of regionalization .. . summariz
ing key financial and statistical infor
mation for presentation to top man
agement.
Bob points out that there are many
areas in Business Administration at
IBM for men with an M.B.A. or a
B.S. in accounting: corporate, gen
eral, and factory accounting; internal
audit; methods; payroll and taxes.
Administrative and management
positions constantly open up at World
Headquarters, IBM’s 188 branch
offices, many plants and laboratories.
“Opportunity certainly exists at IBM"
at IBM,” he says. “Growth factors
alone will account for many new exec
utive positions. A second factor is the
trend toward decentralization, which
also creates new jobs. These factors,
plus IBM’s ‘promote-from-within*
policy, add up to real opportunity.”
IBM hopes that this message will help to
give you some idea of what it’s like to be
in Business Administration at IBM.
There are equal opportunities for E.E.’s,
M.E.’s, physicists, mathematicians and
Liberal Arts majors in IBM’s many divi
sions—Research, Product Development,
Manufacturing Engineering, Sales and
Sales Assistance. Why not drop in and
discuss IBM with your Placement Direc
tor? He can supply our latest brochure
and tell you when IBM will next inter
view on your campus. Meanwhile, our
Manager of College Relations, Mr. P. H.
Bradley, will be happy to answer your Ques
tions. Write him at IBM, Room 10001,
