The formation of the freshmen handbook has kept council occupied for most of the school year. These handbooks will be given to each freshman next fall to aid them to know, as good citizens, Central better. To finance the pro- duction cost of the handbook, the council sponsored the Vodevil which netted sufficient funds to furnish the necessary materials for its completion. Central was represented in the various regional student council conferences held in Boone and Colorado Springs, and the state conference in Fort Collins. The representatives brought back with them a wealth of new ideas and projects to aid in the progress of Central. A new feature, Courtesy week, was introduced. Because the students co- operated with the council, Courtesy week became a great success and may become an annual affair. The council, under the able supervision of Mr. Charles Croley, meets in room 203 sixth hour.

gizfai Uaginaf Cgfftaissa .Safety am! Smvics In an effort to meet a rapidly growing demand for a service organization in Central, Miss Mary C. McNally, girls' adviser, established three years ago the Girls' cabinet. Its membership consists of representatives elected annually by all the girls of the school from each class, roll room, and society. Meetings are held in the auditorium each Friday. Through helpful ticket selling campaigns for many of the organizations in school, the cabinet has won for itself a place of respect and admiration in the minds of the students. Among its other projects the cabinet annually does all in its power to make the lives of the children in Saint Mary's pediatric ward a little more pleasant. The girls carry on a constant search for tinfoil which is then turned over to the persons in charge of that ward, who in turn sell it and use the money for any needed equipment. A committee under the chairmanship of Anna Marie Musso gave the crippled children a Christmas party this year. Delightfully clever favors of green art paper and red cellophane were designed by Miss Joysa Gaines and were made by the art classes and some of the girls from the cabinet. Under the sponsorship of Ralph C. Taylor, chairman of Pueblo's safety council, the girls adopted this year the name of the Safety I-Iostesses and changed their slogan of Service to the School and Community to Service and Safety, Their purpose is to make the students of Central safety conscious and in this way cut down the nation's toll of accidents. With this ideal ever in mind the girls launched one of the biggest cam- paigns in the history of the school. The drive was opened in an assembly in which a number of Pueblo's notables spoke to the student body on the im- portance of taking safety seriously. Then the girls with the aid of the printing and journalism departments issued safety pledges to the students. Of course. the signing of these pledges was purely voluntary, but all those who did sign were given permanent membership cards into the Central Safety club. I Carefully planning their respective futures, these I girls are seen studying the various Helds of en- ' terprise. always with a weather eye out for unusual opportunities. I GIRLS CABINET Row 77M.

U65 75255 H an 6475 Stiff 93031554 Three years' effort in trying to master the mother tongue, English, is re-- quired of every Central student. However, each half of technical English is varied by a half year study of literature. The first year course in 'literature ex- tends from the study of Greek myths to Old Testament narratives and forms a base for the more advanced courses of American literature given in the third year and English literature which is studied in the fourth. The development of the short story is discussed and studied in the second year. Fourth-year Eng- lish is optional and is generally taken only by those who plan to continue the study of literature in college. A course in speech is offered to give the students more poise and confidence in appearing before an audience. Public speaking taught during the Hrst half of the year gives way to the study of dramatics and stage productions the second half. Members of the two journalism classes air their views and supply the news to the student body through the medium of the Times. While not engaged in this manner, they are busy learning the technical aspects of professional news- paper work. - For those scholarly individuals who infest the halls, Central provides a four-year course in Latin. The beginner first learns his conjugations, declen- sions, vocabularies, and so on: and then he gradually works up through Caesar's Commentaries on the Ciallac Wars and Cicero's letters from here and there to the crowning achievement of his four years of labor-a translation of Virgil. By showing the extent to which Latin words make up the English vocabulary, the course proves that Latin is really not a dead language as has been said. r r LLZTLCLL LU72 U725, cgi Ural?
