Understanding As mathematics was considered the language of the sciences, it was important to students planning on a career in science, mathematics, or engineering. The space age, auto- mation, and high speed computers made it so. CentraI's Mathematics Department offered numerous math- ematics courses. Tvvo years of math- ematics vvere required by most tech- nical schools and colleges. To fulfill this requirement elementary algebra and geometry were offered to and taken by most Centralites. The Nlath- ematics Department branched out into beginning algebra, advanced algebra, Geometry I, trigonometry, Geometry II, and advanced mathe- matics. In the algebra course, the student learned to manipulate alge- braic expressions and structures of the number system. Geometry devel- oped habits of correct thinking, log- ic, and statistics and used geometric figures. Trigonometry expanded the fundamentals of algebra, while advanced mathematics treated both algebra and trigonometry on a higher level. The training Centralites received was designed to help them solve mathematics problems and to increase and improve general think- ing ability.

Physical Education was required for all Central High School students. lts purpose was to develop good physical abilities and improve the student's attitude in leadership, sportsmanship, and self-control. Moving to a new school caused many problems for the Physical Education Department. Much of the new equipment ordered did not ar- rive in time for classes making the future activities scheduled uncertain. While weather permitted, girl's physi- cal education classes played speed- ball and field hockey on the field of the Children's Home. Business skills were taught by Central's Business Education De- partment. Subjects offered included bookkeeping, consumer education, office practice, shorthand, stenogra- phy, typing, and clerical recordkeep- ing. i - t If X 'N ' - I 2 ' .QQ sr 3 1-.

There was a wide range of science subjects offered to Centralites. These science subjects could be taken in either of two courses, regular or advanced. Advanced science was for the stu- dent who intends to further his edu- cation and career in a scientific field. The regular science courses at Central were presented to give the student a general background and preparation for college. The subiects offered were biology, chemistry, physical science, and physics. The newest addition to the science de- partment was the Planetarium. Al- though the Planetarium was used by many different classes, it was espe- cially useful in the study of biology, chemistry, and physics. Since astron- need to destroy, omy is the oldest science known, the Planetarium helped explain the rela- tionship of astronomy in the develop- ment of the sciences. The biology classes have received a great deal of equipment. New microscopes, microproiectors, and visual aides were delivered. The chemistry and physics classes also received ne equipment, including two new la - ratories. Pi MMV , . 1, . ,, ,, ,... l l J , T ' i . , . . ' i Mft Armstrong i X f - +3 T .r,..
