“Thank you, Mrs Traiger”

SECRETARY: Headmaster Charleston, the parents are starting to arrive.
HEADMASTER: Thank you, Mrs. Traiger.

Mrs Traiger is Headmaster Charleston’s secretary, last seen in The Lorelai’s First Day at Chilton. I’m not exactly sure what she’s doing here in this scene. Can’t Headmaster Charleston handle this situation without his secretary? Does she have all the keys to the school? Did he phone her and make her get out of bed in the middle of the night and come down to the school, just so she can make all the phone calls to the parents? This woman is not getting paid enough!
