To Secretaries and Shorthand W hether you wish to pursue a career in accounting or just want to improve your typing skills, Brookfield Central's Business Education program offers a wide variety of courses to suit your needs. The classes are career-oriented, and the teachers try to present the student with the real atmosphere of the busi- ness office and train him in the methods and procedures which are currently in use. Senior Bill Webster remarks, The exercises we did in my Accounting class were really helpful in teaching me the proper methods. l have gotten a solid foundation in the subject, and now can easily progress to higher levels. Accounting is one of the more popu- lar business courses at Central, because as Holly Nortman explains, lt teaches you very practical skills. Another popular course, especially with those students who do not plan a purely business career, is Personal Typ- ing. Students spend the semester gain- ing speed and proficiency in their typing abilities, and also cover the correct form for business letters and term papers, two very useful skills for high school and college students. For students who wish to pursue the secretarial fields, there is Shorthand, Notehand, Typing, and Introduction to Office Procedures. Each offers training which will aid the student in realizing his or her goal. The serious business student may choose from Psychology of Sales, Busi- ness Law, and Retail Merchandising. Business Law has taught me a lot about the legal and ethical side of busi- ness. I have found the class very inter- esting, says Chris Meyer. Central's Business Department truly has something for everyone. Business f 139
