Advising the Times , teaching journalism and English, directing the Times' Revue , and advis- ing Quill and Scroll don't leave Miss Olive Allen with a great deal oi spare time, but she'll drop everything to listen to a story about dogs, her favorite hobby. Behind the headlines sit Frank Neu, lune lensen, Al Schwab, Herschel Cap- lan, and Earl Dunne, striv- ing to bring order out of chaos in the Times room to make the deadline. A look of envy came in- to the photographers eyes as he, a mere hunt-and- pecker , watched Gayle Skipton's fingers dart nimb- ly about the keyboard. Hundreds of other girls get training in typing, sh-ort- hand, bookkeeping, and business correspondence in Central's business depart- ment. Creating another excel- lent World for us, Mar- garet Blegen and Marion Dornfeld confer with Miss Grace Cochran, editorial adviser for our literary magazine. English is pleas- ant under her, too. . x 451'

Biology, physiography, chemistry, physics, and mathematics constitute the very comprehensive science course offered in the present curriculum. Fully half of Central's students study one or more of these subjects under a depart- ment of nearly twenty capable instructors. With at least two years of high school mathematics required for college entrance, plane and solid geometry have the largest enrollments, with only a decided minority continuing into higher algebra and trigonometry. Due to the crowded conditions at Central, classes in physics and chemistry are limited to juniors and seniors and are always filled to capacity. The labor- atories connected with these courses give students an opportunity for actual experimentation and research. Actual dissecting of animals as well as the study of the makeup of the body features the biology course. Physiography, the sci- ence of the contour, makeup, and changes of the earth's surface, is a popular subject, and its study is enhanced by the glacial deposits and varied features of this section of the coun- try. Interspersing p h y sic s with witticisms and para- bles, Mr. Clarence Eastman has a minor claim to fame in his classic remark, lf a dry cell is dry, it won't sell. Here we see him taking a temperature read- ing, but elsewhere he'ad- vises the Camera and Ra- dio Clubs and is just as in- terested as his boys. , , . ..-., A n ' jf,--, 1J ili. .54-'nO J 41, f.: T ' ' I It'1boks like a hxaze hf gadgets 'to . . 4 , us, but joel johnson, Robert Ganzel, and Barbara Goodsell, physics stu-' 'J' ' dents, seem to be able to find the focal length of lenses from it.

Required of all students, English in Central has had the double purpose of making the student familiar with the background, history, and the greatest authors in the several fields of litera- ture as Well as giving him better com- man-d of the language. lncluded in the subjects are American and English liter- ature, drama, poetry, and short stories. New courses are World literature open to seniors and modified English offered to students not planning to enter college. Practical literary experience is gained through the journalistic undertakings, the Times , the weekly newspaper, the World , the magazine, and the Cehi- sean , the senior yearbook. The commercial course teaches the theory of business ethics and practice in addition to practical business experi- ence. lnstruction is given in three major subjects, bookkeeping, typing, and shorthand. These are supplemented by courses in office practice, business cor- respondence, commercial law, and world history. Practice makes perfect. We see Mr. William Bush admiring the targets of his ambitious proteges. Be- sides advising the Rifle club, he is modern to the minute in his ideas of chemistry.

LLL' lxzil Matters of state are no doubt being discussed, for don't you recognize Bernard Anderly, junior class president, and Albert Moorman, general chairman of the l. S., taking up the time of Miss Cora Timme, their class advisor? Thcy seem to enjoy the discussion. That pleasant occupa- tion, handling money, takes up the time of Mr. Robert Brockman, faculty bursar, when he isn't teaching book-keeping or advising the Chess club. Keeping track of Central's varied fi- nancial affairs makes it duck soup for this man to defeat any and all of his club members at the an- cient and honorable game cf chess.
