People walking past Central may wonder at the number of Central students leaving school at various times during the day. These students are for the most part members of Centralis D.C.E. program. The Diversified Cooperative Education program enables students 'ito earn while they learni' and is designed to provide training for occupations and to prepare students for these choices, both in the classroom and in the community. Those on this program attend classes for a half day with one class hour devoted to specific study related to the program and a half day spent on the job. Central students wanting to enroll in this program must meet qualifications set by the school and employer. Central's coordinator is lWr. Eugene Glod and it is his responsibility to correlate the knowledge and training of the students with the needs of the employer. NVith the aid of a coordinator, the D.C.E. program offers training from a morticianls assistant to a tire builder. Another activity which attracts students to the D.C.E. program is the Co-op Club. Its various projects have pro- moted a better understanding of the students, training in the school and state. An annual Employer-Employee Banquet is held to foster a better and more personal spirit between the employer, student and school. In the past year, all students on the D.C.E. program held a city-wide car wash and also held a dance in the Washington High School gymnasium. Central by its support of this program guided youth to a complete training in citizenship and service and has en- couraged the development of leadership and scholarship.

? U-fl 1 Gwen Miller, Robert Schreiner, Eugene McDonald, Dennis Kuespert, and Victor Zielinski are a few of the upperclassmen who took advantage of the developmental reading program under the supervision of Miss Smogor. ongucige Mastery Central's language department has excelled again this year in an effort to maintain its high level of academic standards, and it has also been the background for a few comical situations. It seems as if Mrs. Campbell and Mr. Kfadden, members of our outstanding English department, may have intro- duced a new style of teaching. Klrs. Campbell taught her English class midst the clamor of falling plaster and ac- cording to one of Bfr. INIadden's English classes, the sounds of f'My Fair Lady do aid in the punctuation of sentences. The new 'methods' have not, however, affected the im- pressive achievements in our English department. Veni, Vidi, Vici . . . I came, I saw, I conquered, a famous quotation by Julius Caesar, is a guidepost for many students in the study of Latin. Mr. Robert Herringer, Cen- tral's only Latin teacher, has encouraged and produced many Latin medal winners in room 318, a room always to be remembered by many Centralites. The foreign language department has acquired a new and valued language laboratory, yet no one who has taken Spanish could forget the familiar guitar and sombrero on the wall of Bliss Ceyak's classroom. She and Mr. Govern are sponsors of the Spanish Club and German Club which have promoted and stimulated interest in these languages. Those students taking Developmental Reading under the supervision of Xliss Smogor will enjoy the benefits of the course throughout their school years. Another special course, English Literature, taught by Miss Iiergan gives the students a better understanding of Chaucer, Shake- speare, and many other famous English writers. Although a junior English class is where one usually learns more about American literature and English grannnar, Miss DeCroote's classes have also been experimenting with choral reading. Although most students have a lot of homework, some still find time for outside projects. Ralph Komasinski and Denny Makielski are looking at the Globe Theater they made for English literature. il :- -ff i' ? 1' Ii V i, , 1? , I ,fini 114' - ---
