First-year art offered a study of lives and styles of famous painters and of the funda- mentals of painting and drawing. Painting, which improved individual style, added new techniques. Commercial art was concerned with the more practical use of art. Costume design combined color combination with fab- ric study. In interior decoration students com- pletely furnished a model home.

Pottorf Foreign Language Department tudies Students enrolled in foreign language classes learned, not only to speak languages fluently, but also to know the customs of the countries they were studying through text books, tape recorders, film strips, and movies. Something new for Central was started-a Spanish club spon- sored by two teachers, Mrs. Mary Pottorf and Mrs. Frances Grady. Also in the Spanish department colorful pinatas,', clay shells filled with goodies to eat, were made and then broken for the classes at their Christmas parties. Latin classes read stories of Rome and ancient Italy. French classes enjoyed the pictures and stories of France. Two years of French and four years of Spanish and Latin were offered, according to Mrs. Velma Reeves, department chairman. 4- 46 Virginia Quesenbery Speech, ustoms .H an Velma D. Revesf, 71 f rn!
