As the tremendous progress of the jet age continues to reduce the size of the world, more and more students recog- nize the increased need for a know- .3 K ledge of languages. Also students who plan to enter many professions have discovered that the door is closed for those without this training. As an aid in understanding German, Mr. Govern sometimes has his class sing in the foreign tongue. Performing in this pic- ture are, left to right, Phil Horton, Karen Stark, David Hempstead, Gwen Shaw, Douglas Kline, Heidi Haffer, and Gary Feldman. TOWARD ENLIGHTENMENT From freshmen to seniors, the bug of excitement bites us all on registration day. Do we have a class with our friends? Will the cute boy down the street be in our class? Did we get the right teacher for the right subject? As the days rolled by, these questions and many more were answered. We found that even if our friends weren't in class with us, we managed to pass the course. After an interest was taken in a cer- tain subject, the cute boy didn't matter so much. We also found that each teacher could present the subject in an interesting way, hence, the classes took on their import- ance in our everyday routine. . . . gccic, , H i i ACM 'TSQE One of several languages made available to Central students is that perennial fav- orite, Spanish. Part of its popularity stems from its use- fulness in this part of the world. Most Spanish students hope to journey to Mexico one day in order to test their prowess, but Miss Ceyak's students shown here seem to have much more interest in Brazil. There are Jerry Ottow- ski, Karen Blume, Mary Sue Zatarga, Larry Coddens, and Margie McKenzie. l

The members of this freshman English class seem eager to answer the questions asked by their smiling teacher, Miss Bennett. Correct use of verbs, proper sentence structure, and placement of adiectives cmd adverbs are a few of the basic fundamentals learned in this first-year course of high-school English. Time spent in classes like this is invaluable, not only for those who face research work in college but also for those who must make their way in a modern world im- mediately after finishing high school. Gone are the days when most employers ignored the lack of a good command of the language. The re- sponse of these students shows their realization of this. Natalie Dowdell, Norma Winther and Jim Crain seem to have ci few questions for their English teacher, Miss Snyder. She generously obliges, for she knows that in a few years the information that she now gives may help her students pass a college theme or write a correct letter of application for a iob. Correct English plays a very important part in our future lives, therefore, classes such as this hold many valuable moments for all attending students. ff' QM,
