By Learning to Work with a In Central’s vocational c lasses we learn methods in homemaking, farming, woodworking, and elec¬ tricity. We arranged flower bouquets and conducted a dating survey in the high school for two of the projects of the senior girls. Some of the other classes used sewing, cooking, and room arrangements as their projects. Central’s agriculture classes show that the work of the farmer is unlimited. Studying soils and soil fertilization and crop and livestock management are a few of the chores. The new farm shop keeps everyone busy. Senior shop boys enjoy music through their crystal sets while working on their drawings and other electricity projects. Shellac¬ ing and welding are other tasks for the shop classes.

Pupils in art and music find that the Art Club and Music Departments are a good place to develop new interests. Art Club members find that there are many hobbies connected with art. Examples include paint¬ ing, ceramics, sculpturing, and molding. Music Department pupils may take an active part in the band or other instrumental groups. Those in chorus may sing in different groups such as glee club, girls quartet, girls ensemble and the boys quartet.
