in the Black Unmitigated woe is having to consign one’s accounts re- ceivable to the corporate dustbin and declare bankruptcy because of mismanagement.

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.

Wayward Relationships and Improper Fractions Mathematics has always drawn the attention of thought- ful men. The French philosopher Rene Descartes, inventor of analytic geometry, and the poet Omar Khayyam, mathe- matician at the royal court of Persia, may have had little else in common, but the reflective natures of both men led them into the study of mathematics. At Glynn Academy the student learns to appreciate the beauty of the number system as well as the practical value of mathematics. Students gain an understanding of the nature and application of mathematics absolutely necessary in to- day’s world. The exceptionally thorough and comprehensive mathematics program at Glynn Academy is justly famed. Far from being only an unpleasant necessity, mathematics ranks high on the list of student interests, as shown by the large number of students participating in the annual math contest. MR. OREN D.
