English, Latin Help Us Express Ourselves A large per cent of Centralites were enrolled in language this year. English, Latin and Speech make up the language department. Latin students under the instruc¬ tion of Mrs. Stucky enjoyed a full year. Learning new words and the source of many English words held new interests for each member of the class. Miss Beihold’s Speech class ex¬ pressed their opinions, gave explana¬ tions and presented descriptions thru writing and oral speaking. Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors were all enrolled in English with Miss Beihold, Miss Beavers, and Mr. Shoup as teachers. They studied the kinds of sentences, read books, and expressed themselves by writing. Debates in speech class gave students the oppor¬ tunity to express their opinions on different sub¬ jects.

m I I Lois Steury, Sandra Swygart, Larry Foreman, and Larry Decker share their knowledge of American political parties with Mr. Haggard and the World History class. History Informs Us of World Affairs Although satellites and missiles were important topics in government and history classes this year, the bulk of the time was still spent on ancestry and the present gov¬ ernment set-up. Fridays found these groups catching up on their reading with the current weekly newspapers and voicing their opinions on the same. History, divided into two groups World History and American History, was elective to Sophomores and required to Juniors. Most Sophomores elected to take World History. Government and Sociology, required by the state for seniors, gave pupils the basic fundamentals in government and social life. American History requires study as Don Ray and Roger Slickman have learned. Senior girls Pat Liechty and Doris. Bluhm memorize basic fundamentals of American government.
