STUDENTS IN BIOLOGY CLASS Curriculums at Central Offer Variety of Studies CENTRAL offers to its students much variety in the field of studies. The eight curriculums, composed of 58 different courses, allow the student a great deal of freedom in selecting a course of study in school. The importance of secondary education in our present school system can not be over-empha- sized. For many students, the high school constitutes the last three years of formal education. Bear- ing this in mind, the administra- tion of Central endeavors to offer to the students those subjects that will best fit and prepare him for a vocation, or for college. As it is impractical for any student to try to study each of the 58 courses taught at Central, some division had to be made and the curriculum plan was adopted. Each of the eight curriculums offered is carefully selected to pro- vide a rounded course for every student. While the student is al- lowed to specialize in the course in which he is interested, he is not permitted to devote all his time to it. At Central in all curriculums. two years of English, three years of physical education, one year of laboratory science, and one year of American history are required. These courses are prescribed for the good of the pupil himself. With so large a field of choice, there is no student that does not find his needs fully anticipated and out- lined in some one of the curricu- lums. THE GENERAL Curriculum is offered for those students whose vocational and educational plans are not yet formed, or whose interests are not fully met by any of the other curriculums. The Gen- eral curriculum student, in the tenth grade, takes two required majors, English I and II and World History I and II. An elective and Modern Science I and II or Biology I and II are the two required mi- nors. Physical education is re- quired for all Central students. In the eleventh grade the pupil con- tinues with English III and IV and an elective. American History and Civics complete his social studies major. His ninth grade social stud- ies are credited toward this major in the General curriculum. He begins another minor elective, and Physiography and Physiology fin- ish his science minor. In his senior year, he completes the minor started as a junior. Modern Litera- ture and Basic English satisfy his English major. He is allowed two other electives. These electives are in the Home Economics, Foreign ENGLISH STUDENTS AT WORK PROSPECTUS Page Twelve
