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:

Physical Education 8: Health Among the most popular courses for boys at Central is physical education, better known as gym. Classes are held in Central's gymnasium under the direction of coaches Merz and Buxenbaum. Coach Buxen- baum is a very busy man since he also teaches one of Cen- tral's newest subjects, Health, with Miss Bloom. This latter subject is required for all stu- dents and gives a general hy- giene background. lt features movies on various health topics and teaches the importance of a healthy body. Page Eighteen . Library, Attendance, Administration Assistant Almost every student in Cen- tral comes in contact at some time with one of the Big Three namely the librarians, attendance officer, and admin- trative assistant. All readers and seekers of information are familiar with our well stocked library. Any person who has had the urge to be excused from a seventh period study hall knows Mrs. Wilcox, the at- tendance official. Our admin- istrative assistant is Mrs. Mc- Davitt whose headquarters are the main office and who helps with the details of running our school.
