For those who are interested in the ancient Greeks and Romans and the earlier progress of civiliza- tion, World History is much to their liking. United States History claims those who are enthusiastic over the history of our own country and who gain ideas from these early experiences to profit by them. In Economics the students endeavor to learn the best meth- ods to use the knowledge they have gathered from their various other courses. The study of American Government treats, in detail, with the function and policies of our govern- ment, including the discussion of the present economic, social, and civic problems of im- portance. And music, representing the hum and clash of our Workshop, as one of tl1e most divert- ing of subjects, does not intend to give a student a complete education in any phase of music, instead, strives to train the stu- deut's mind and ear to a better appreciation of it. Miss Beulah Bennett supervises the orchestra, the Girls' Glce Club, and the chorus classes: while the Boys' Glee Club and the Central Band are both under the direction of Mr. Raymond Elliott. The Cantata, presented this year, was just one of the many programs sponsored by the Glee Clubs. A mixed octet, composed of members from both Glee Clubs, has sung on a number of special occasions.

Our English re- quirements are examples of this, for each student must have four such units to his credit before graduation is possible. The first year of English must be com- pleted at some other high school or junior- high, as Central does not carry Freshmen subjects. English III and IV, adapted most- ly for the Sophomores, include the study of correct grammar, with the observation and composition of the essay and short story added during the second semester. Adven- tures in American Literature, a study of modern verse, combined with a more detailed investigation of the novel and the study of Macbeth and Hamlet, is offered as Eng- lish V. The sixth semeste1 s Work delves further into the mysteries of American liter- ature. In his Senior year a student has the choice of three Widely Varying branches of English -English VII and VIII, Journalism, and Speech. The seventh and' eighth semester of this study are a contmuance in the field of literatur i11clu,ding'tl1e outstanding' authors of the p tr twelve centuries and their most inin l'txfl.hlii works. It is one of these classes nt publish the Tower Gleams and the pamphlet of poetry, Centhology, edited for the first time this year. The Journalism classes not only learn better composition in writing. but also gain a more complete knovvledge of newspaper Work by publishing Weekly the Central Outlook. Copies of this paper during the past year or so have taken the sweepstakes and second place in the na- tional contest. The schedule of the Speech classes includes practise in public speaking and a study of the drama. Reading from left to right-Miss Lois Vifelty, B. A., M. A.: Miss Sarah Spencer, B.

Its extensive curriculum includes commercial law, indus- trial geography, penmanship and spelling, bookkeeping, business English, typewriting and stenography, all of which offer a good start in the business world for the conscien- tious student. Commercial law includes a study of papers, contracts and notes, as to their legality, in- cluding other phases of lawful and unlawful actions in the commercial world. The rela- tions of the geographical features of the land to industry and commerce is emphasized in industrial geography. Drills, exercises and matches make up the course in penmanship and spelling with perfection along these two lines as tl1e aim. Bookkeeping, with the 131110- tice of keeping and balancing ledgers and books, attempts to prepare the student for either home or office accounting. Accuracy first, speed second-these a re the goals toward which the typewriting students work. The highest degree of ability in shorthand, dicta- tion, and transcription are the three-fold purposes of stenography. Business English is the study of the English of commerce and also, office training. A Algebra, plane and solid geometry, ad- vanced algebra and trignometry, all compose the department of mathematics, witl1 the chief desire of these courses to develop the reasoning power of the student, as well as accuracy. However, geometry is also applied to Various t1'ades and professions in the busi- ness world. The solving of formulas and the application of them when working prob- lems, is stressed. Knowledge of these sub- jects is useful and more than necessary should the student decide to enter an en- gineering profession. Heading from left to right-lllr. Milan B. Xval- lace, B. S., LL.
