Education Night and Day For those with special plans for their futures, Brandon offered courses from 7:15 A.M. until 9:00 P.M. when the first class of morning session began to the last hour of Night School. Did you think that all high school stu- dents were teenagers? Not true at Bran- don High. The students that attended the Night School Program included some teenagers, businessmen, housewives, and even grandmothers. Night School at Brandon High gave adults an opportunity to earn an adult high school diploma or just to gain extra know- ledge. The program offered many courses in different fields of study. One very interesting course was prenatal care. The students were soon-to-be parents. A most important class, G.E.D. tGener- al Equivalency Diplomat refresher, pre- pared students for taking the G.E.D. exam. lf the student passed the exam he would, be awarded a high school diploma. A variety of other courses were offered, including English as a Second Language fE.S.L.j, bookkeeping, Spanish, current world affairs and personal shorthand, just to name a few. The Night School Honors Award was given to those graduating seniors whose grade point average was 3.0 or better. The Night School Principals Award was given each semester to the most out- standing graduating senior. Many students concentrated on speci- fic career plans while still in regular high school. Business Education offered some out of the ordinary classes. A very unusual class was clerical office practice. lt was a course for students already skilled in typ- ing, who were preparing themselves for careers in the business world. As the stu- dents became skilled in using the typewri- ter, adding machine, and transcriber, they began a company and set the room up like an office. The company was called Project Invest. The students sold insur- ance to the Driver's Education students. The student that sold the most insurance would be given an award from an insur- ance company in the community. Both Business Education and Night School left us better prepared for what was ahead. ns..
