She at- tended Hardin College at Mexico, Mis- souri, Cape Girardeau Southeast Missouri State Teachers College, and Washington University in St. Louis, receiving her degree from the local school. Before entering the Cape Girardeau public school system as an attendance ofhcial and sub- stitute teacher, she taught in Dexter, Missouri. Previous to her position as principal of Broadway School in 1921, Mrs. Naeter taught a semester of math- ematics here at Central. In 1925 she was transferred from Broadway to our high school. Her present duties consist of teaching history, keeping the at- tendance records, and serving in an ad- visory capacity for all Central girls. SUMMARY OF CLUB PARTICIPATION Not only does Central offer a wide se- lection of subjects, but its extra-curricular activities are equally varied. Following the modern theory that the combina- Y tion of extra school interests with the necessary scholastic work develops a well ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL rounded individual, our school officials have instituted many different clubs and organizations here at our school. In the many group activities at Central, students can find their particular interest. Some enter an or- ganization with the one idea of gathering knowledgeg others for the acquisition of skills or vocational guidance, and still others for cultural or recreational motives. Whatever purpose the individual student wants to realize from the organization can be accomplished by active participation and co-operation. Of the 666 students enrolled at Central, 185 of them are members of two organizations. Next in order are 166 students who belong to one club. The greatest number of memberships held is six, with 10 students in this group. Those participating in three activities number 75, while 40 people are in four and 12 people in five. Out of the entire student body only 75 students are not affiliated with a club. LIBRARY FACILITIES The library of Central High School is one of the most used and worthwhile sections of the building. As librarian Miss Regenhardt orders necessary equipment and materials and has charge of the classification of all books. Mrs. Gordon assists in checking books and supervising student reading of books and magazines. Approximately 8,570 books, including sets of classics, are listed in our library. A sum of 5450.00 is spent annually on new volumes, and at least 30 pamphlets are purchased each year. Daily newspapers subscribed to by our school include the St. Louis Glohe-Democrat and the Southeast Missourian. Magazine subscriptions are chosen because of their intellectual and popular appeal to the students. Those interested in exploring into the world of scientific discoveries turn to Aviation, Mathematics, Model Airplane, National Geographic, Popular Mechanics, Hohhies, Scientific American, or Popular Photography. To enter into the realms of fine or dramatic arts and languages, one only needs to open the pages of Art Instructor, Inclustrial Arts, Classical Outlook, Design, School Arts, School Musician, Theatre Arts, and High School Thespian. Students glancing into Good Housekeeping, McCall's' Fashion Quarterly, Mademoiselle, American Home, Architectural Forum, Forecast, and Home Craftsman find usable material on fashion, cooking, as well as home building and decoration. To those who admire and enjoy nature, explanatory knowledge can be secured in the American Forests, Bird Lore, Field and Stream, Nature, Flower Grower, Open Roan' for Boys, or Outdoor Life. Fiction appeals to many as witnessed by the continual demand for American, American Boy, Boys, Life, and American Girl.
