WAKITAN l er' CURRICULAR . REQUIREMENTS Sailors who are aboard the S. S. Central must comply with certain requirements previous to the time when they graduate. Three units of English must be completed before graduation. So- cial Science is a course from which two units are required, one of these must be from United States History. One unit must be obtained from R. O. T. C., 1 gym or physical education, from a natural science, and from ART ROOM mathematics if the students did not obtain one of such units at a Junior High School. Each student, in addition to these stipulations, must present six elective units. A total of thirteen Senior High School units are required for grad- uation. ENGLISH DEPARTMENT Sailors, while taking the necessary courses to fulfill the English requirements of the S. S. Central, encounter various types of work in this department. The first two semesters of English must be completed at a junior high school, as Central does not carry Freshmen subjects. English 10B and 10A, the Sophomore English courses, take up the study of correct grammar. Interspersed with such instruction is the study of such works as Silas Marner, Ivanhoe, Idylls of the King, and a general study of the history of the short story and of the essay. English V composes the first semester of work in the Junior year. In English 11B, the great Shakespearean works, Hamlet and Macbeth, are studied. A study of modern verse, in addition to the novels, The Rise of Silas Lapham and A Tale of Two Cities, completes the course. The student of English 11A is taken into the extremely interesting field of American literature. Senior sailors have their choice of one of three types of English for their fourth unit. For the sailor who wishes to continue his study of literature, a course of study is prescribed in which the outstanding authors of the past twelve centuries are studied, It is one of such classes which edits Central's literary magazine, Tower Gleamsf' Sailors who desire to become more proficient in the art of . W... , public speaking and in acting, are urged to take Speech. Journalism provides an outlet for a student's literary ability. Students of journalism gain not only greater facility in their writing, but they are the bene- ficiaries of a more complete knowledge of newspaper work. It is the class of advanced jour- nalism students which publishes Central's weekly paper, The Central Outlook. JOURNALISIVI OFFICE P xge Sixteen
