HISTORY With the thought in mind that history repeats itself, Central High students try to find out why. This is accomplished by means of the required history courses. The customs, beliefs and habits of ancient and modern people are studied. In this way, we learn why other people have different ways of expressing their ideas, and how their thoughts influenced the events that have occurred. In these present days of strife and anxiety, it is necessary to respect the opinion of the people of for¬ eign nations. Although the desire for supremacy is so great, countries and people must learn to consider not only their own wishes but also those of others. The world has grown smaller, but also it must grow closer together by the ties of international friendship. This is the valuable lesson which history has to teach us. Art Kachadourian and Mary Osborne ponder the true size of the world today. Seated: Mrs. Mildred Youngstrom, Miss Helen O’Brien, Mrs, Burlew, Miss Elizabeth Prior, Miss Louise Wulff.

Lit Club is one of the few organizations in Central open only to the girls of the school. The girls meet each week to discuss art, literature and music. Actually the club participates in a great variety of activities, all hitting on some phase of culture. Interest is added to the meetings by guest speakers and book reviews. Freguent trips are made to the home of Mr. Frederick Williams to enjoy his large collection of classical music. The semi-annual initiations and sandwich sales and the annual dinner are events that all members look forward to. This year Lit Club was ably headed by Rosemary Foster during the fall term and by Sandra Colman during the spring term. i Sandra Colman, Spring president of Literary Club, congratulates Priscilla Nytch, secretary, upon a successful term.

These two subjects are taught at Central under the guidance of Miss Katherine Hyland, Mr. John Grace and Mr. Earl Dooley. A science major can be obtained because some type of science is required in junior high school. A great many pupils at Central study chemistry or physics. After the basic fundamentals are learned, there can be no doubt that science is one of the most interesting and necessary subjects of today ' s world. Page Eleven
