Arranging the Tea Table (0:03:25 - 0:11:00): A short instructional film from Simmel-Meservey focusing on the etiquette and aesthetic principles of setting a proper tea table.
Emily Post's Table Manners (0:12:00 - 0:22:00): A formal guide narrated by Emily Post demonstrating proper dining etiquette, including how to handle various courses and utensils at a dinner party.
Around This Table (0:23:15 - 0:38:35): A documentary about NATO, showcasing how representatives from member nations meet around tables to discuss defense policies and international cooperation.
Putting Tomorrow on the Table (0:39:31 - 0:54:35): An amateur home movie from the Prelinger Archive that captures a first-person perspective of someone assembling a model rocket kit.
Additionally, the host concludes the session by showing several vintage Pepto-Bismol television commercials (0:54:41 - 1:01:57) that were selected because they prominently feature the word "table" (specifically in relation to chewable tablets).
