The battery of blast furnaces, shown here framed by overhead trestles, are the beginning of the metamorphosis of steel. The raw materials, iron ore, coke, and lime rock are loaded into the furnaces and blasted with hot air, burning the impurities from the ore. The ladle-like cars in the right foreground are used to transport the molten metal to the open hearth. Ufaaasi

uibzess ana! Sgofza 'zz omfzfsfs For those to whom the business world offers a gleam and an allure, there is a commercial course. Instructors do not try fully to complete the course in high school, but the fundamentals are meticulously taught in order that advanced work in that particular field will come more easily for those who continue. Two years of shorthand and typing are given in which a spe- cinc speed must be obtained before credit is given. Business training and business arithmetic or commercial geography and commercial law may be taken as well as a four year course in bookkeeping. If you've a yen for working with things mechanical, Central's shops offer ample oppor- tunity to satisfy it. Future printers learn the various techniques of their job in the printing shop, and the architects are trained in mechani- cal drawing. Tomorrow's electricians and elec- trical engineers may begin their extensive train- ing in the electric shop, and the carpenter should, of course, include woodwork in his cur- riculum. Welders and mechanics to take care of the great machines of the age may also begin their training in Central shops. Needle work in its various forms is still an- other course included at Central. During the beginning year, the girls are re- quired to keep notebooks containing samples of different kinds of cloth and different sewing stitches. However, during the next three years they are allowed to make whatever types of gar- ments they prefer. Those boys and girls who are planning to be the cook at home or elsewhere can profit by the two-year course in home economics now offered. Central students are accorded the privilege of four years of musical training in either vocal or instrumental music. Vocal aspirants begin their training in the freshman glee club and work up through the Cosmopolitan glee club to the A Cappella choir. From the choir are chosen the leads for the operetta, the outstand- ing musical event of the year.
