Lan guage ' A man who speaks two lan- guages is worth two men. This must be a favorite quotation ot the language department be- cause their aim is to give the students the ability to speak two or more languages well. To some of the pupils struggling with Latin it may not seem valuable to be worth two or three men but when they have completed their study of it, they may better appreciate the language background it has given them. Top: Miss Edna Brown, Miss Loretta Murphy ldepartment headl meet with Mrs. Edna Hinds and Miss Anna Meyer for a modern language con- ference. -. Bottom: Miss Catherine Keenan and Miss Josephine Rosenberg, Latin teachers, meet with Miss Lundy, de- partment head. Middle: An earnest discussion con- cerning the Latin assignment dralws the attention of this industrious group. The knowledge ot a modern language makes one today an interested and interesting per- son. With the world as small as it is now, it is imperative for people to have some working knowledge of a modern lan- guage besides their own whether it is French, Spanish, German, or Russian. Our modern language department, headed by Miss Loretta Mur- phy, tries to make of us, peo- ple who can find our way in the internationally - minded world at today. Page Fifteen

Commercial Another course in Central which is on the practical side is the Commercial. Contrary to popular belief it includes not only typing and shorthand, but also business arithmetic, book- keeping, business law, and a thorough course in business machines. Miss Miller is the head of this department, which turns out efficient office work- ers. For persons who are not interested in stenography the other courses offer a varied group of occupations. Top: Miss Mary Miller, Miss Katherine Miller ldepartment headl Miss Helen Murphy lseatedl Miss Alice Lowry, Mr. John Guley, and Miss Elsie Coff- man in the Commercial office. Bottom: Mrs. Elizabeth Ellis, Miss Le- Ia Wickham, Miss Caroline Wads- worth lseatedl , Mrs. Ruth Moyes, Mr. Benjamin Gold, Mrs. Mary Rita Hyde, members of the Commercial depart- ment. Middle: Four commercial students dis- ploy their proficiency in the use of office machines. Page Seventeen For the past terms, in addi- tion to its many subjects con- nected with the commercial course, this department has been offering a special one- term typing course for seniors. lt carries no credit or home- work but gives a general typing background which is useful to anyone who may wish typing knowledge. This course is only one sample of the way the com- mercial department adapts it- self to the needs of the stu- dents of Central. .siewmr -rmfvmwisnm-5:
