Students with a Good Business Education Never MRS. JULIET. DAVIS BS, Georgia Southern College; Business Law; Recordkeeping; Typing I. MRS. AVONEL M.

WILLINGHAM Sullins College; BS, University of Georgia; General Record Keep- ing; FBLA. Glynn’s business department strives toward an ambitious goal of a total education for all the students. A well-rounded education must consist of both academic subjects and an effective course of study in the practices of business, such as typing, bookkeeping, and business math. A course in typing is an invaluable aid to all students, whether they plan to pursue a career in business or not. Business math is another course which accounts well for itself among all the students. In business math one learns the principles of budgeting and keeping accurate financial rec- ords which always draw interest. Another aid to the average student is business law, which is a half-unit course that delves into the legal aspects of business. More specialized courses are offered in shorthand, book- keeping, and office practice. Shorthand teaches the students an entire language consisting of strange symbols that are meaningless to the average person. Bookkeeping teaches the student how to keep accurate and well-balanced records, while he learns conventional procedures in secretarial office practice. In general, business students learn highly useful practices that will help them in whatever field they decide to enter. In the affluent society of today a good business education is a must for everyone. 22

MR. HOWARD G. BISHOP BS, Austin Peay State College; General Math and Algebra I. Math Determines Courses MRS. CAROLYN F. WILLIS BA, Winthrop College; Geometry. As the sophomore begins his first math course at Glynn Academy, he has a feeling of frustration and a secret knowledge that the early mathematical heroes formulated their innumerable equations for the sole purpose of be- wildering him. The student usually spends the first few weeks of the course learning the general principles of the course and the little eccentricities of his teacher. In Algebra I the student has his first taste of coefficients and exponents; this sets the scene for Algebra II. In his second year of algebra the student takes up such foreboding subjects as the sexagesimal system, permutations, and the Fibonacci sequence. Geometry encompasses the interesting area of plane surfaces, offering proof that math does have use in everyday life. MRS. CLAIRE T.
