E05 Vicky Bush and Patsy Blue were two who enjoyed wheeling and dealing in Economics class while playing a game with class members. Whether you're planning to enter the business world immediately after leaving Jones or wait until completing a four year or more course elsewhere, or plan to use those skills learned in the summer or on a part time job, all the courses of the Business division are very practical. Many people need to understand how to take care of their own business and courses in Economics, Business Law and Accounting are available for this purpose. Typing and shorthand skills are helpful throughout college in typing papers and taking notes in classes. Some say that learning shorthand is like learning a language for writing. Working their way through college, many students plan to enter other fields and use their typing and short- hand in offices over the campus and in their communities to earn money. The division offers preparatory work in Accounting and Business Adminis- tration as well as preparatory work in Business Education for those who plan to teach business in high school. A two year terminal course in Gen- eral Business and Secretarial Science is available also. The most talked about course is probably accounting and perhaps that is because everyone seems to have trouble in balancing a budget - even in the classroom. I Business I 33
