Library, study hall filled with studying students Miiny students do not have an opportunity to finish their homework at home, and they were fortunate that Central fur- nishes them with study halls in which they can complete their assignments. A student can also get a pass from the study hall to visit the library to do research work. Mrs. Watson and Mrs. Allen were in charge of the study hall, and they kept order so that all students c ould get a maximuni of studying done. Each study hall has service workers to take charge of attendance. The rules of study hall were strict, but this was necessary if there is to be any amount of study done. Many detentions were given to students who were out of order, but most students realized that this was for their benefit. Since there were about 250 people in study hall each hour, it was neces- sary to require good conduct of the students in room 242. Study hall waa a place where students could study without frequent interruptions. Many students had two study periods. Library clerk, Mrs. Lucille Rynderj, was at her post in the library during study periods so that she could help students find books. Students who needed to do research could go to the library to study during their study period. Many resource books were available.
