History Story Of Mankind w Sr. Mary of Mercy points to spots of interest on A. Bearley’s relief map. B. Siwa and E. Ball enjoy her comments. History, the study of man’s achievements through the ages, is offered Central’s students in a three year course. Man’s early development is studied through Ancient History, while history through the latter centuries and its signifi¬ cance on modern government is studied in Modern History. The third and final year course, American History, is taken by all stu¬ dents in their junior or senior year. From the discovery of America to our present day, American History students see their country grow. Throughout the history courses the lead¬ ers of tomorrow are given a better knowl¬ edge of the past and present civilizations and of the people who built them. A better knowledge will lead to a better understand¬ ing of our fellow men and our ultimate goal —world peace. Page 20

Girls ' Art Joy Through Productivity J c -) J Tile mosaics intrigue D. Siminek and S. Hohenbrink while paper mache fascinates L. Kondalski and B. Dore. In the girls’ art department a contempo¬ rary theme was stressed for their creative work this year. Cutting, fluting, tearing and bending are terms widely used in the art of paper sculpture covered by them. Also as a new project the girls experimented with colored glass which was fired in a kiln and then used for a stained glass mobile. The study of art history is important as a background for the girls’ own creative work. Art history is divided into four cycles; Modern art is made more interesting as each girl represents an artist—and uses material as music and literature to correlate with the life and ways of the artist she chooses.

Social Studies Inform Citizens Of Tomorrow Mr. Basich has the floor in the economics class. Sr. M. Chrysostom “wields the stick”, not the gavel, in the study of government. Government. “A government of the people, by the people, and for the people” is the desire of the Central seniors after the com¬ pletion of their semester of government. The Christian Social Principles are instilled in their minds, so that they might better under¬ stand the means for attaining this type of Government. Sociology is the study of society and of the patterns governing group behavior. This class is offered for one semester and is very worth¬ while since it gives Catholic opinions on the problems and evils of society and how to remedy them. Economics, the science of the laws of produc¬ tion, exchange, distribution and consumption enables the student to understand the already accepted basic principles of our country. During the year students buy and sell stocks, observing the profits and losses of their expenditures. Page 21
