Without the aid of the art department, Central could not have realized such ambitious projects as the All-School play, Capers, and publicity posters, for it has been through the combined efforts of those in this department that stage settings and all artistic advertising have been accomplished. Stage settings have added to a great degree in the production of effective assembly programs. Students who enter art find that he does not have to engage in solid art, but he can vary the Work. There are such courses offered as interior decoration, clay modeling, costume design, commercial art, art apprecia- tion, and a few others from which he may select according to his interest. The guide of all students occupied in these courses is Miss Hester Robinson, capable and efficient adviser. The Work in Tower Gleams and 'tWakitan were done by the art students, also the murals on the walls of Central. Art has a definite place in National Defense because it helps the individual to keep up his spirits, and gives him pleasure in his leisure time.

In developing a spirit of confidence and pleasure, by playing, the Central band has performed this function. The present band is composed of seventy members under the supervision of Mr. Worth Blair. In its development Mr. Blair is assisted by two student directors, Bill Bar- ger and Walter Martie. The organization began a successful season by performing, in co- operation with other school bands of this and neighboring states, at the annual showing of the American Royal in Kansas City. A public parade was staged in the city streets, after which the bands were taken to the American Royal where they played two selec- tions as a mass band. In addition they led the Christmas parade and took part in the an- nual spring Apple Blossom parade. The organization has, on several occasions, appeared on the school assembly pro- grams where it was enthusiastically received by the students. The band was given the distinction of playing for the St. Joseph Rotary Club at Hotel Robidoux, and the State Hospital. On both occasions they were p1'aised highly for their work. The band received an invitation to play at a concert at Atchison, gf , . . , ,. as kansas. After the performance a banquet and dance was given in 'X their honor. g fe A -uf' I'ag.:'o 15
