Under the able instruction of Mr. Frank Galles and Miss Emma Ryan Central's boys and girls learn to use various forms of gymnastic equipment. Under their supervision soccer, touchdown, fieldball, and horseback riding are taught in the fall. During the winter months hockey, tumbling, gymnastics, swimming, volley ball, and basketball are the chief activities. ln the spring teams in tennis, golf, track, and kittenball are organized. For many years these teams have received high ratings in the city and state, but it is to the idea of developing many students in athletics, rather than a few for competition, that the physical educational department has turned. With this in mind it has sponsored for several years an elaborate system of intramural sports for the benefit of the entire school.

F lffl The woodturning and machine shops INDUSTRIAL ARTS OODTURNING and cabinet making are featured in the various wood- shops situated in the basement of Central. Beautiful and useful house- hold articles and decorative objects are the result of interesting experi- ments with wood and sharp-edged tools. Model airplanes designed and con- structed by the students have often received awards and recognition in national competition for modeling ability. Mechanical drawing and home planning are offered as subjects. Although most of the classes are composed of boys, girls are allowed to participate, especially in the art wood work classes. Delicately carved coffee tables, magazine racks, book cases, and regula- tion size desks are among the objects fashioned by the nimble fingers of mechanically-minded students. The constant grinding, whizzing roar of the band saw and planes may be noise to an outsider, but it's music in the ears of Messrs. Lewis H. Harnsburger, Robert Berg, and Albert Schwabe.

SCIENC -HISTORY CIENCE! The word in itself awakens a curiosity to learn something of the wonderful, mysterious knowledge which daily introduces new things to enable us to enjoy an easier and more comfortable life. This subject, ever full of interesting discoveries, has been studied from ancient to present times. Central's students have proved they too are interested in new and vital knowledge, for over fifty per cent of Centralites follow the advance of science in one field or other. This department, headed by Mr. Frederick Miller, offers elementary courses in physiography, biology, physics, and chemistry. The history department offers a range of study from the earliest records of man up to the present day. The list of courses includes ancient, medieval, modern European, American, English, and world history as well as civics and economics. Events that occurred thousands of years ago are discussed and studied at Central with as much familiarity and interest as today's social and economic problems.
