Secretaries The efficient running of our school depends largely on our staff of secretaries who are usually found in the main of- fice. They handle all business from lost and found to switch- board. This staff also includes the staff of the bookroom when the students line up for books, materials, and school tokens. Another person in this group is Mrs. Coffman who handles school money from stamp sales, club dues, and all other school finances. Custodians The mechanical functioning of our school can be credited to our staff of custodians. They keep the school wa rm in winter, cool in summer, and running all the year round. They keep the bells ringing, ink wells filled, and do all the other odd jobs necessary in any building or school. They also have the job of erasing all those cam- paign appeals and pep boosters from the blackboards. As a re- sult of their hard work our school keeps running smoothly.

Art Another interesting subject is Art which is taught by Miss Holcomb. The students taking art make posters for all kinds of contests and drives. They al- so learn design and representa- tion. The Art Department aids in all productions held at Cen- tral. In addition to these exist- ing jobs the art department al- so teaches the basic principles of drawing. Recently some art classes did portraits of their classmates and self portraits. Many art entries from Central won Scholastic awards. Music The Music Department has been going full swing all year, with two new instructors. Miss Thornburn heads the choir and chorus which have been carry- ing on their usual school ac- tivities, including a Christmas program. The band and orches- tra led by Mr, Nemeth, have played at several evening shows at Central. This department has been given an added lift by the purchase of an organ, a gift from past graduating classes. The organ opens and closes each assembly. Homemaking On the girls' side' of the led- ger their most useful subject seems to be homemaking. This course includes child care, cooking, interior decoration, sewing, and lessons in poise and etiquette. Whether a girl plans to make her career in one of these fields or is just storing up knowledge for future use, anything she learns in this course is bound to be useful. ln the kitchen of the home- making department a girl can learn all the fundamentals of cooking.
