ENGLISH lllPllHllVllNl To train citizens who are happy in the presence of ideas and who have an ap- preciation of the non-material values of life is a primary objective of the English Department. We further recognize Lan- guage Arts as among the basic skills nec- essary for success and happiness in life. To achieve these objectives, the work of the English Department is divided into a study of literature and the basic skills of communication. IRENE BRELAND B.S. Millsaps College LORENA CHANDLER A.B.

SllEllll STUDIES llEPllHTNlENT The purpose in studying history and the other social studies is to gain an under- standing of the present day world. This knowledge of contemporary affairs can only be obtained by a study of past events, persons, and ideas. The four history cours- es offered at Central High School are World History, American History, Amer- ican Government and Economics. Throughout the social studies program an effort is made to encourage independ- ent thinking on the part of the student. The goal is for each student to reason logically and to think for himself.
