Journalists Provide Communications Link Central's newspaper and yearbook staffs were hard- working members of the student body as they pre- pared interesting newspapers and a great yearbook for Centralites. Prospectus staff members busied themselves through- out the school year. They cropped numerous pic- tures, wrote mounds of copy, and somewhere found time to sell and deliver yearboks. Of great importance to the Arrow Head staff was the All-American rating they were given by the National Scholastic Press Association. They produced a bi-weekly paper that was filled with pertinent school news. The Beginning Journalism classes learned the dif- ferent techniques that are used on both publica- tions. They visited both The Flint Journal and the University of Detroit Journalism Department to learn more about journalistic endeavors. Photogra- phers found themselves taking, developing, and printing a myriad of pictures. Top: Junior Delores Heard dreams about working on one of the staffs next year.

You es- cort your date into a small dimly lit restaurant and order your dinners in French ... or Spanish ... or German. Sound impossible? Not to a Central student! German, French, Spanish, and Latin were the lan- guages that Central students were given the oppor- tunity to learn. In the language classes students studied the people and customs of the countries in which each language was spoken. The language lab was instrumental in improving pronunciation and in giving the students a chance to hear the accents of native speakers. Creativity was also encouraged in some of the language classes in which imitations of native art were made by stu- dents. academics 17
