Business Courses Prepare Students For Office Life Aside from the regular busines courses of typing, shorthand, and bookkeeping, Meadowbrook has established enough student interest to have classes in data processing. The students strive to obtain general background in all aspects of the data system and the punched card theory. This understanding is established in conjunction with the bookkeeping and accounting theory. Students have two periods a day of data processing, which contributes two credits toward graduation. In order to extend student interest, various speak- ers have been invited to present new concepts to the business classes. These speakers, as well as numerous field trips, have helped to give business student a well-rounded idea of a well established business.

Many of the teachers under him are new to Meadow- brook. As an aid to a better and more under- standable background of English, a supply of new grammar and literature books are used by most students this year. These new books offer the combination of literature and grammar to be taught simultaneously rather than two sep- arate courses as before. Various activities during the year have put added interest into the Senior English courses. They have been given the opportunity to see “The Taming of the Shrew’, a comedy by Shakespeare, and “School for Wives”, a play presented at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.
