C., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1971 * SECTION FOUR * “NOW IS THE TIME_” —Four Brevard College business di vision students practice the old adage to improve their typing, as Mrs. Grace Munro, head of the division, supervises.

Lin da, who’s also president of the Busi ness Club, which Mrs. Munro spon sors, says the gap between class room and office is bridged with speakers, panel discussions, films and other programs that help stud ents equip themselves for the busi ness world. (Photo by Bill Boggs) Head Of Brevard College Business Division Says "One Of The Best" Typing, shorthand and the ability to communicate in business are skills that al ways have a demand greater than supply according to Mrs. Thomas F. (Grace) Munro, head of the business depart ment, of the social sciences di vision-a| Brevard College. ~ She said in a recent inter view, “The demand for our students (in this division) is much greater than the supply, which puts us in an embarras sing situation when we have to say ‘no’ to so many firms that we would like to help.” With all the unemployment, she added, a really good secre tary can always find a job. The college offers a two year program complete in it self, as weD as a program leading to a four-year degree in business administration, business education and sec retarial science. With about 50 full-time stud ents in the programs, plus a number of others with different majors that are taking one or two business courses, the divi sion still has room for more students. Mrs. Munro said, “Parents within daily driving range of the CoUege who have chil dren interested in these fields are really missing a bet not taking advantage of our day student rates and excellent When you think of prescrip tions. think of VARNER'S. adv. rating in this division.” And if there is an expert on the subject of business science in Western North Carolina, it’s Grace Munro. As a graduate of Winthrop College and the Uni versity.of Tennessee, she began her career at Breyajd, tei&Jyflg business administration courses. After her marriage to the late Thomas Monro she taught in Japan; and at For est City High School and Gardner Webb College, both in North Carolina. Wore re turning te Brevard in 1956. She can also talk to her stud ents from practical experience . . . among her other activities, she has acted as secretary for a South Carolina senator, news editor of a weekly newspaper and secretary to the Wing In spector at Johnson Air Base, Japan. In addition to a full - time career, she has reared a son who is now a student at Georgia Tech and a daughter, noW working with the water pollution division of the Environmental Protection Agency’s Atlanta office. She also is president of the Wo men of Brevard from the Dav idson River Presbyterian Church, a member of the American Association of Uni versity Women and program chairman of the Alpha Lamb da Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma. She says the major change in the years since she began at DOWNTOWN BREVARD ON SOUTH BROAD ST. 6 A M. - 9 P M. MEATS • VEGETABLES SALADS • DESERTS 4 VARIETIES TO CHOOSE FROM! TRY IT TODAY! Brevard is that “we teach more Easter now.” At one time she taught practically all the cours bs. Now, she is assisted by Ray Fisher, Mario Perez and Mrs. Nancy Hall. Mrs. Munro says, “Rathe; t teach our students how to live along with the necessary knowledge.” She stresses the importance of business com munications, also. “Typing and shorthand will get the job, but business communica tions (how to write letters, reports, etc.) will make it pos sible to hold the job,” she sajrs. Last year, on sabbatical, Mrs. Munro visited junior and senior colleges, industries and government offices in the south eastern states to investigate current needs in business em ployes and to double check on the efficiency of her own de partment. She says she enjoyed the chance notes with other in stitutions, but found nothing that required major changes at Brevard . . . “We already were doing as well as most of the others I visited, and received no complaints con cerning the product of our di vision.” Graduates of Brevard’s bus iness division may enter fina cial institutions as trainees or retail stores’ management train ing programs, operate small businesses, work for businesses and industries, hold civil ser vice jobs that require only two years of college, or continue in to a four-year program. One of the highest compli ments Mrs. Munro has re ceived, she says, is from one of her students, who wrote that her teacher “Is not only interested in the academic side of things, she is interest ed in me as a person.” Brevard is a two year lib eral arts College related to the United Methodist Church of Western North Carolina. It’s academic program prepar es students in the sciences.
