Several different courses were offered in this field. Cabinet Making I concentrated on the fundamentals of woodworking and the use of hand tools and woodworking machines.

Physical Education was required for all Central High School students. lts purpose was to develop good physical abilities and improve the student's attitude in leadership, sportsmanship, and self-control. Moving to a new school caused many problems for the Physical Education Department. Much of the new equipment ordered did not ar- rive in time for classes making the future activities scheduled uncertain. While weather permitted, girl's physi- cal education classes played speed- ball and field hockey on the field of the Children's Home. Business skills were taught by Central's Business Education De- partment. Subjects offered included bookkeeping, consumer education, office practice, shorthand, stenogra- phy, typing, and clerical recordkeep- ing. i - t If X 'N ' - I 2 ' .QQ sr 3 1-.
