Science Mr. Grace, of the Science Department, is ex¬ plaining the process of distilling water. James Allen, Julia Speerbeck and Carolyn Ross listen attentively to learn about the world in which they live. The lab period acts as a means of making science alive because it is there that students apply what they have learned in their chemistry and physics textbooks. Norman Foster is practicing giv¬ ing a humorous speech in front of an appreciative audience, his English class. English is one of the subjects taught in Central which gives the pupil a wonder¬ ful chance to develop his tal¬ ents. His speaking talent may be advanced through speeches which are often one of the reg¬ ular assignments. His writing ability may be greatly aided by the writing of compositions and the criticism which the teacher gives of his work. But the main ability which a student de¬ velops through this study is the talent for appreciation. By read¬ ing and studying a great deal of the world ' s best prose, poetry, and drama and through regular book reports the student learns to understand and enjoy all kinds of literature.

Aviation As the world becomes more air- minded, we find an increasing interest in aviation on thq part of Central students. Of bourse the field of aviation is complex and involved, but in the short time permitted students are ac¬ quainted with the principles of flying, weather, the structure of the plane, geography, and the lingo of an aviator. Mr. Emer¬ son Bateman directs this fasci¬ nating class, which is open to all Central students. At present both boys and girls enjoy these lessons. The class has been on tours of Links Aviation Co. and the Triple Cities Airport. Keep¬ ing abreast of the latest aviation news and experiments, these students are preparing to be an important part of the air-age. Page Thirteen Homemaking Homemaking girls are experimenting in putting the finishing touches on a dress which one of the girls has just made. Miss Dagmar Wulff looks on to advise. In addition to sewing, home¬ making courses provide expert training in child care, cooking, and interior decorating.
