A high school English department has the all-important iob of providing each student with a proper English lan- guage background to meet the need for effective communication in our complex world. With the addition of new teachers and the broadening of old programs, Central's English Department continued the difficult iob of effectively teaching the art and science of communication. The former sophomore English proiect, the autobiography, was dropped this year because of dupli- cation in the LaCrosse iunior high schools. An extensive creative writing unit involving such topics as exposi- tion and description provides a re- placement. Sophomores also un- dergo a comprehensive review of grammar, literature and vocabulary. Included in the literature program are Julius Caesar, David Copper-

Depend on Two groups of vital workers at Central deserved a great deal of credit for their efficient work through- out the '67-'68 school year. These were the cafeteria staff and custodians. Perhaps one of the most difficult things for students to adiust to this year was a closed noon hour. Mix- ups concerning first and second shifts, changes in the time schedule, and a shortage of seats in the cafeteria kept things hectic. Throughout the year, our cafeteria staff worked dili- gently to keep confusion at a mini- mum and to make the noon lunch period as enioyable as possible. Volunteer student cafeteria workers assisted our cooks in preparing hot food and serving the student body. vg f .. ' 2 , . . I Lgeg., V if ' Cafeteria Help, Back Row: P. Driscoll, M. Guanella, R.

Students punched lunch tickets and kept lines in order, while members of our faculty took turns directing stu- dents to tables and supervising com- bination cafeteria-study halls ll9 and l2l. Cleaning a new school may have sounded easy to some people, but our custodians can testify to the con- trary. With a combination of con- struction, sawdust, tracked-in dirt, no wastebaskets, and about twice as many rooms to clean, they were de- finitely working under handicaps. However, our ianitors succeeded in keeping Central's many corridors clean enough to pass the white- glove test. .yyg ,, 1 Mr. Lesky X I if 1 w it . ...i F - Lf, .1 5 if ' as 2, J .

The iunior year is also marked by a final grammar review, advanced vocabulary study, and an anthology of American literature with appropriate novels and selected topics. The English students' tinal year is spent putting previously learned skills to work on maior proiects. An anthology ot English literature and a formal paper on a chosen career make up most ot the year's activi- ties. ln addition to required English, a special course involving a semes- ter of world literature and a semes- ter of developmental writing is open to a select group of seniors. i ivu' f X7 if A il l wlfv W ,t Us iiilti 'J T will ll tl ll i i t lllll ,Mill it ,ii yi if Q ' wt, it l ,It til ll lliiiitlllzci will lflllui with UW Q ll fin' Q' lil f QQ, wx A QL I, Ml I D, I it it iii mi Wi Ms yi , QM ii l ill i flllylf at ff, Q fly',WL A. y. ,lui lil its U i Wgvrl if it W fps will l- f nip i T A , ,ll i my fl V 7 , 5.
