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.

UHAMATIES Tllfllc STUDE TS l HESPU SIBILITY Inquiring reporter finds out about the plays. At Central each year, various plays are given by students for the development of self-realization and civic responsibility. These plays help the students to memorize fast, think clearly, and carry responsi- bility. When an individual is in front of an audience and is acting to his fullest extent, he has the biggest sensation that could exist within a person. He knows that the part he is playing is his very own to have and to own, and with such an ideal in mind, he develops his sense of responsibility to a high degree. Central has many plays during the duration of the yearg the Christmas Play, Armistice Day Play, Senior Play, All-School-Play, and the Wakitan Play. This year the plays have played a large part in the lives of many students at Central. lt has developed the dramatic ability of the students in the play, and has developed a sense of pleasure and determination in the other students. Central is very fortunate to have Miss Lacy, Miss Davies and Miss Groves, for dramatic coaches. These teachers are well informed and advanced in the dramatic line for entertainment. Miss Lacy teaches Speech and Dramatics in class work and helps the students realize more about dramatics and speech as a major factor in our future lives. Miss Davies is a teacher of English, and has charge of the performance for the Armistice Day Play, and helps in the selection of characters for the various iff plays throughout the year. .
