New Courses J Study hall was one of the quieter spots in the school. Kris Sveen, Dann Sandvig and Marla Kleinsasser found dif- ferent ways to use a break in speed reading. 12 Offer Change Day to day life at Central was brightened by the many changes in curriculum. Homeroom was moved to between first and second hours. Senior privileges were enjoyed all year round this year instead of the last nine weeks while the few juniors with a first hour study hall could keep their names off the class list for that hour. Modern problems and American history classes took a new form this year. Modern Problems was divided into two semesters. American government and an optional course and the last semester of American history was divided into four, four and one-half week mini-courses. New English courses dealt with the past, Myth- ology and Legends or Bible as literature; the present, Uses of the Present; and the future, Future Shock. The courses also entertained, like there was Comic Vision and Comic Imagination to baffle the mind, Who Dun It? and to boggle the eyes, there was Speed Reading. Trade Math was another addition this year which rounded out the schedule for many Central students while au,to mechanics opened its doors to the girls. These are just a few of the changes that made classes more for the individual this year. Kathy Rau, Lit Walker and Deb Reder seemed to have mixed emotions about changing their Amer.can history class.
