Business Classes Prepare... Paula Shiver takes her Typing I class through the stages of locating the keys, margin setting, and learn- ing to type many forms of letters. She also teaches accounting which provides students with an overall picture of the total process of business systems and is a good base for further study and career advancement in the business world. Although there are many career opportunities available in accounting and related fields, accounting is for all persons who need to understand financial records so that improved economics decisions can be made - and that means everyone. Accounting I includes learning how to organize and summarize financial facts and how to interpret the economic message those facts convey. Students start with a begin- ning balance sheet; learn the princi- ples of debiting and crediting, journalizing, and posting; and finally, learn to prepare the financial state- ments. l-Mrs. Shiver ' s famous words are, ' Hands on home keys?
