Social Studies One World is the much used expression which the mem- bers of the Social Studies De- partment, under the leadership of Miss Marion Rostiser, cannot avoid stressing in the class- room. The student is constantly shown to what a great extent history repeats itself. lt is no wonder that this subject is one of the most interesting taught in Central. Little by little the con- fusion in today's world is clari- fied through a study of history from the time of the Egyptians to the present time. Not only events are discussed, but also their causes and effects on the world. Finally, a study is made of the current day situation so the student may be impressed with the importance of keeping up with the new problems as they arise. Certainly, there is neither a better place nor a finer Way to form good citizens for our country than in the social studies classroom.

Language One of the greatest barriers that must be mastered in a World striving for peace is that of language. The aim of Cen- tra1's modern language depart- ment is to give each student at least a nodding acquaintance with one or two languages. The department, under the direction of Miss Loretta Murphy, offers courses in French, German, and Spanish, stressing in each case their place in current affairs. Of course, it goes without saying, that any student who has taken the courses offered in Latin has prepared himself for any mod- ern language he might want to study. In the ever-shrinking World of today, there is no doubt as to the importance of a lan- guage background for every citizen. Top: Seated: Mrs. Edna Hinds. Miss Loretta Murphy, Miss Edna Brown.
