Classes A busy hum and calls for copy are kept up in the Times room by our promising young journalists who are expertly directed by Miss Olive Allen. One of Centralls most popular institutions, the library, is efficiently managed by Miss Laurie johnson and corps of willing girls who work in period shifts. The peculiar sounds issuing from 212 and 316 have as their source a host of typewriters manipulated under the supervision of Miss Pearle Knight, Vivian Cady, Ellen Simon, Helen Hagin, and Ellie Brodeen. The chemistry lab. with its variety of odors, its tubes, and the new ventilators is a fascinat- ing place which draws many students, Presid- ing over it are Mr. Alfred Buser and Mr. Vlfilliam Bush. The big, small, leering, sober, fantastic, and commonplace masks which grace 319 with their presence are made under the skilled direction of Miss Minette Paro in art classes. The outdoor gym classes are divided be- saggy, tween tennis and kittenball, while many forms of sports and exercise are taught inside by girl referees and Miss Emma Ryan.

Advisers Latin is not dead. A concrete proof of this is the enthusiasm of Latin Club members who are advised by Miss Daphne Schaull and Miss Florence Baber. Miss Schaull enjoys read- ing and likes to entertain a small nephew. Stop and go signs hold a great deal of in- terest for Mr. Arthur Anderson, for he is the power behind the throne in the Central traf- fic squad. He is business adviser for the Times and the W'orld as well. Vlfith a few skillful strokes of her brush Miss Elizabeth Stroble creates a pleasing de- sign. She is especially interested in batik, and under her direction, the Triads have de- signed attractive scarfs. Miss Florence Baber, adviser for the Latin Club, has produced a great number of plays for programs. That is not her only hobby, however, for she has a garden, which she enjoys greatly. Travel and books loom high on the hori- zon of Miss Hilda Anderson. Seminar cour- ses at the University enable her to continue her study of the eighteenth century, in which she is especially interested. Miss Carrie Castle, that smiling blue-eyed English teacher is the adviser of the Literary Club and has superintended the publication of The World this year. Miss Mary Bryant, our dean of girls, loves out-of-door sports, especially skating. Vaca- tioning at White Bear is her chief delight in summer. We wonder what the sophomores would do without her. A representative of the history department is Mr. Harry Smith whose avocation is music. He enjoys tennis, and golf, and often goes on long fishing trips. He is a great favorite among the pupils.

7 'JCM au Classes The mourner's bench, one of Central's most attractive retreats, has increased its popularity since the staff photographer recently appeared to snap the pictures of the charter members. The girls' art woodwork classes are busy making plaques, door stops, book ends, and boxes and other useful wooden objects under the tutelage of Mr. Lewis Harnsberger. Students of Mr. john Harp's biology classes study under the microscope slides of lower bacterial animal life. Slides are frequently prepared by pupils themselves. Miss Laura William's modeling classes are popular with both boys and girls. Her pupils usually make bowls, candlesticks, and tea tiles, and some especially talented people mod- el heads or figures. This won't balance. Whe1'e is that sheet? are familiar remarks heard in the bookkeeping classes which are taught by Mr. Robert Brockman, Mr. Arthur Anderson, and Misses Edith Beckman, Nellie Dunivon, and Jennie Wieseiithal. Several classes under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Stroble are engaged in free hand sketching from models, in making batiks, and in blocking out various designs.
