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.

Health serviceeewith a smile. The gym team-in the air PHYSICAL EDUCATION ECAUSE of its importance, physical education is a course required of every student. 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.

MATHEMATICS-BUSINESS SUBIECT closely allied to science and business and extremely important to them is the study of mathematics. A working knowledge of mathe- matics is required of businessmen, engineers, and scientists. The majority of Central's students become acquainted with at least the first two years of mathematics. Only a decided minority continue in the higher courses. Headed by Miss Louise Smith, the department offers courses conforming to college requirements in elementary algebra, plane and solid geometry, higher algebra, and trigonometry. The more advanced courses are open only to those who received superior ratings in their first two years. Seek and ye shall find is the maxim of the type l classes of the com- mercial department. This branch offers classes in shorthand, typing, book- keeping, office practice, and business correspondence for the benefit of would-be stenographers, who some day hope to apply their learning to the benefits of the commercial World. Accuracy is the final test in these typing and niatlieinatics classes Page Twenty-seven
