However, here we are to be concerned only with the true sciencesfphysics, chemistry, biology, general science, and geography. The process of accumulating that knowledge is acquired in a variety of ways: laboratory experiments, field ex- cursions, lectures, and the usual class- room work. Two sciences are required for college preparatory work, so all science classes are well attended. How- ever, the study has become more than a mere subject to a great number of stu- dents. This is proved by the interest shown in classes and in the Boys' Science Club, an extra-curricular activ- ity. With no previous experience stu- dents have become very adept in Cen- tennial's numerous branches of science. In a reply to a letter written by our principal an old alumni, Alan Cun- ningham, attributed his success in study-. ing science in college to the excellent training given in Centennial. Praises also came from John Maynard for this department. Other students graduating from Centennial have frequently given credit to our science department and in- structors for the excellent preparation given to them as a foundation for ad- vance work. fBoB HUTcH1NsoN.

MELIN MR, ARTHUR E. STANLEY 5.12111 Abe! In September l937 Centennial wit- nessed a new type of assembly. Due to the large enrollment it became diffi- cult for all of the students to be seated in the auditorium. Therefore, the fresh- men who could not be accommodated were taken downstairs and seated by the track in the gymnasium. A public address system was installed in the gym so the assembly could be carried down to the freshmen via the loud speaker. Assemblies come in assortments - funny, serious, peppy, and an occasional well deserved scolding. Many assem-H blies are presented by the different school organizations. Among the most popular type is the pep assembly, These assemblies are usually presented the day before an athletic event. Important national and international events call for assemblies. Christmas, Armistice Day, the birthdays of Washington and Lincoln, Constitution Day, and many others are celebrated in Centennial. Every spring representatives from the colleges in the state come to tell grad-- uating Centennialites about their col- leges. These assemblies are enjoyed by the whole school. The assemblies are a rest from class- room studies, and they are given for the student body in order that their views will be broadened. -MARGARET NICCOY. Page Seven

HOMER BISH, 0,1 QM Besides teaching the boys the required gym, the classes here in Centennial have also helped to instruct the students in health building, there-by making gym doubly advantageous. Mat Work, trapeze exercises. rope climbing, track work, in fact, every- thing useful in building healthy bodies is included in this subject. Many of the students have used the Work later. But most of all, the boys are getting some! thing more valuable than exercises, they are receiving a course in promoting health. This early training is essential to future well-being. Centennial's gym classes offer the same type of training as many high- priced gymnasiums in clubs and other organizations. Besides the Work mentioned. the stu- dent delve into trafic safety, safe driv- ing, causes and effects of poor driving. ways of preventing accidents, and first aid. All this Work is accompanied by apt and efhcient illustrations. Included in the first aid work are all manner of instructions of what to do until the doctor comes, such as tourni- quets, bandaging, and administering of help. All this work is very valuable ir: later life. -Bots HUTCHINSON. Pail-' ,Yine
