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.

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.

No production would be a success without the preliminary and final plans for the sets, the assurance that the cameras are in working order, and without the countless other details that are essential for a smooth production. It is the job of Central's men of industry to fit themselves for these important tasks. Since the production of movies is big business in the United States, it is essential that the business side of it be handled with efficiency and accuracy. Our executives, office clerks, and secretaries of tomorrow train themselves by typing the many scripts for our movie. The shorthand, typing, and business courses are essentials that also can be used outside the business world.
