English classes stress ‘happenings’ English class fun ? Central students discovered that this statement was often true. English teachers this past year inspired students to be able to enjoy and understand exactly what is happening in Ent ish literature. Along with the usual grammar and compo- sitions, students were involved in public speaking group discussions, and dramatic presentations. A gain in reading, writing, and logic proved to be the main advantages to each individual. Each Central student was able to take the class that he felt would benefit him the most. Creative Writing, Humanities, Speech, Advanced Speech and Drama classes were also offered to Centralites who wished to venture into new and different concepts of English.

Journalists strive to record events of year Photographer Miro Skripnik, junior, focuses his camera to take pictures for the yearbook. The newspaper and yearbook staffs worked side by side to report and interpret the school year. Interviewing visitors, faculty, administration, and students took up much time. The Arrow Head staff also visited the Detroit Journalism Institute in December to learn new reporting techniques. A first class rating was awarded to the staff in writing, editing, and photography. Writing headlines, copy, cutlines, and cropping pictures kept the Prospectus staff busy. The '69 Prospectus also achieved a first class rating. A new format was used to modernize the yearbook layout. Four new photographers gave a fresh outlook to the staffs this year. The photographers experi- mented in picture techniques. While learning the basics in Journalism, the Beginning Journal- ism classes were given opportunities to try and write features for the Arrow Head. One of the classes main jobs was to pass out the Arrow Head bi-weekly. 18 academics
