In the color and design classes interior decorating is studied and interesting outdoor sketching tours are taken by the drawing and perspective students. The his- tory of the theater with the decorationfof the stage emphasized is the substance ofthe commercial art and stage craft course. Prac- tical knowledge of the art of printing is taught to the pupils thus enrolled. The Cen- tral print shop does all of the printing neces- sary for Junior College and the other high schools of the city, as well as for Central. I-Iomemaking, concerned with the care, deco- ration and problems of t11e home, is EL- new subject that was introduced only this year. In the sewing course the girls are taught the correct way to make clothing, the care and repair of it, and a better knowledge of tex- tiles. Many students are enrolled in the foods department to learn the easiest method of cooking attractive and well-balanced meals. The wood-working classes are divid- ed into two different branches-bench and lathe-both dealing with the construction of furniture and the correct care of tools. Me- chanical drawing teaches those enrolled how to draw certain objects concerned with me- chanics. In keeping with her desire for health, Cen- tral has her own physical requirements.

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.

The office of the principal is shared by the vice-principal, and their secretary, Miss Metz. Here, when it is necessary, the stu- dents are interviewed in regard to grades, and other affairs: the more important con- ferences concerning what Central shall do and when, are held, also, in this room, and all correspondence carried on in, behalf of Central, finds here its origin. Miss Eugenia Andriano supervises the main business office, which includes the com- piling of the morning notices, the checking of absentees, the issuance of bulletins and the 01'dering and distribution of supplies. All excuses for absentees and tardies must be turned into Miss Louise Barthold in her office, in order for the pupil to re-enter school. Requests for leave permits are, also, granted here when there is due cause. NEWV CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL
