Because our ability to express ourselves determines the degree of our success in social, academic, and business life, our most valuable classes this year v ere the English classes. As basics of grammar v ere reviewed and vocabularies strengthened, students learned to use these tools to better their v rit- ing and speaking abilities. Stu- dents opened classics written by Shakespeare, Dickens, and others for the first time and delved into them OS a class, exploring each character, idea, and theme the au- thor injected. For individual book reports, students turned to other authors, both traditional and mod- ern, and learned to recognize the author ' s views on life as well as his approach to efFective literature. For a change in pace, poetry was ana- lyzed and the students were able to use this art as a form of expres- sion. As the year drew to a close, each student applied all the char- acteristics of good composition he had observed to his own writings. Two Central Englisti teachers, Mr. Albert DeRue and Mr. Dorwin Nelson, get together for a ctiot after a long day ' s work. NEVER DIES...

NO GOVERNMENT DEMANDS SO MUCH FROM THE CITIZEN AS DEMOCRACY AND NONE GIVES BACK SO MUCH James Bryce History classes were an essential part of the curriculum of many students this year. To the freshmen the required course of community civics meant a look into the ma- chinery of our modern democracy, an awakening to world situations and organizations, and a preparation for each to take his place in society as a responsible citizen. With so many of today ' s thoughts focused on the war in Viet Nam, the study of world history seemed very appropriate. Many students took advantage of the course to learn about international relations of the past and the pattern of strife, rivalry, famine, and war that slowly entangled many of the griefs and victories that led to the molding of our one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. The government classes completed the list of history courses offered this year and provided an opportunity for students to finish their history studies with an understanding of the systems and ideals which have kept our nation so strong. Mr. Earl Kuhny, Social Studies department head, is another example of the devoted and conscientious teachers at Central High School- Above, History teachers Mr. John Poorbough, Mr. Robert Clements, Mr Floyd Kuzon, and Mr. Bruce Smith pause for a minute to study our Freedom Shrine.
