SV 3 To give insight into the customs, art, music, philosophy, and tempera- ment of people of other nations was the idea emphasized in the Foreign Language Department. Central of- fered four languages: French, Ger- man, Latin, and Spanish. Besides studying grammar, conversational usage, and various dialogues, all four foreign language courses in- cluded the reading of famous litera- ture. French Ill students read stories by de Maupassant and other au- thors, German classes read a selec- tion entitled Emil and the Detec- tive , Spanish Ill completed a novel, PENSATIVA, and Latin Students read Cicero, Livy, and Horace. Both Ger- man and Spanish classes wrote skits and learned songs such as Gaude- mus lgitur and La Cucarachaf' The Foreign Language Department at- tempted to make its pupils better world citizens by giving them knowl- edge of cultures other than their ovvn.

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,..

The purpose of Home Eco' nomics was to transform young girls into future homemakers. In addition to designing fashions for their an- nual style show and making cookies for the Christmas tea, girls learned to sew, cook, and decorate a home. Driver Education emphasized that maturity and sound iudgment are as essential to good driving as 20:20 vision and quick reflexes.
