Liskey, Miss L Utley It is through the study of English that Central's stars learn to express themselves accurately and concisely, and prepare themselves to be successful script writers. In addition, by studying the world's ,famed writers and poets, they learn to appreciate the literature of the past and present. After completing a year of sophomore English, they look forward to creative writing, news, and American literature as juniors. The senior stars are kept busy with a year of English literature and Gale essays. Another important contribution to our movie industry is the language department. It helps the stars when on location in faraway lands and in the production of foreign language films.

Mr. Miles Mr. Rohde, Miss Bell Miss Bireline Miss Thompson, Mrs. Brice Our counselor's job, an equally important part of our movie, includes guiding the stars in choosing their courses, finding jobs for them, and conducting the senior college aptitude test and the Kuder vocational test. The art classes teach our actors how to express themselves through the use of the brush and pen. Sketching, illustrations, and commercial art are among the courses offered to the more talented. The library, one of Central's busiest places, is our movie research department. Here our actors find information for any assignment, and a large selection of fiction and periodicals. Music is essential in the production of any movie. Central's music groups furnish the stars with entertainment, and, at the same time, they strive to create an appreciation of good music. 7

The juniors learn of the settlement of the West and the cause and result of »he Civil War in American history, and the seniors study American government and our social and economic problems. For our more scientifically inclined, we have courses in physics where our stars learn of energy and its relation to matter; biology, the study of cell structure; botany, the study of plants; and chemistry, the study of the composition and changes of substances. Equally difficult are the courses in mathematics. After a few weeks of geometry or algebra, a star finds that a hexagon is a six-sided figure and that x and y are the two quantities that he's always looking for. In higher mathematics he learns of logarithms and geometric solids.
