Careful Ledgers Keep Glynn Business Students MRS. MARY T. WILLINGHAM Sullins College; BS. University of Georgia; Bookkeeping, General Business, and Ceneral Record Keeping. Judging from the strange symbols that cover the black- boards of some Glynn Academy classes, visitors might con- clude that the students are being taught Arabic. Far from delving into such studies as the languages of the Near East, these students are only learning some of the practical busi- ness skills necessary for success in the commercial world. Unfortunately, the trials of business indicate that many people are as ignorant about bookkeeping and other areas of business management as they are about exotic languages. But these important techniques need not remain Greek to students, for Glynn Academy realizes that courses such as shorthand are not just shortcuts . . . they are necessities. MRS. MARY HANEY RICE MUmaippi Slate College for Women; Shorthand I and 11, Vocational Office Training; Chairman of Buainr» Dept.; Sponsor of FBI.A; Guidance Business Placement. MRS. AVON EL M. HORNE BS, Georgia Southern; Typing, Bookkeeping, and Notrhand.

Follow March of Time MUSIC MISS CORNELIA YARBROUGH BME. Stetson Unirersity: Florida State UaWrnity; General Music; Beginning Chorus; GirU Chorus; Concert Choir; Sponsor of Singers Q ah. “A man.” said Goethe, “should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life.” Whether or not the last two suggestions are heeded, the Glynn Academy music faculty always make sure that every one at school hears a little music every school day. Latin stu- dents pause over their books to hear “America, the Beauti- ful” wafted from the nearby music rooms. Melancholy math students are cheered by the strains of John Philip Sousa. The faltering voice of a general music student learning to sight-read has nearby classes on edge with suspense . . . Will he make it? There are other practice times when no one hears but the empty classrooms. Miss Stephens, Miss Yarbrough, and Mr. Barr have a devotion to their art matched only by their devotion to their students and the right key. MR. ROBERT M. BARR BM. Cincinnati College ContcmUrrjr of Band. 21

in the Black Unmitigated woe is having to consign one’s accounts re- ceivable to the corporate dustbin and declare bankruptcy because of mismanagement. In the competitive business world the wages of ignorance is often disaster. The days of addled accountants are gone for good. Realizing the increasing complexity of business transactions and the need for matching skills, Glynn Academy offers a wide range of courses in commercial methods. Many people today are unable to handle any financial undertaking more difficult than that of placating a parking meter. The citizens of tomorrow must learn how to take money matters more ser- iously.
