Home Econom- it i ics in Central is interested in providing learning experiences for developing individuals who can be contributing members of families. Through or- ganized work in homemaking education and the Future Homemakers of America, leadership ac- tivities are provided and a sense of one's respon- sibility to her home, community, and nation is instilled early in life. The main objective of the Agricultural Department is to provide a basic agricultural background for rural youth so that they may more easily find their place in the vari- ous fields of the agricultural industry. The Busi- ness Department believes that business education should place emphasis on developing an economic understanding and competency for all students. Industrial Cooperative Training attempts to create an awareness of changing conditions in the business world, and to help the student prepare for the change. In Distributive Education, both the practical application of classroom instruction, and the shared work experiences are contributing factors in helping a student choose his vocation. 66

'?r..- -A fs 1. - I 1.-,4 H-'J In its first year under Mrs. Miller, the Art class has shown many interesting displays. Music and Art The music and art departments offer the stu- dents an opportunity to work creatively as artists and musicians while studying the meaning, pur- pose and history of eachfield. These studies are both an integral part of our cultural heritage. They provide opportunities for the student to en- joy, explore, perform, create, and appreciate according to his own individual capacity. We believe in the growth of boys and girls through musical and artistic experiences. Our course offerings are broad enough to lay solid foundations for useful music and art, both voca- tionally and avocationally. These 2 departments offer the opportunity to draw upon their services and those of their stu- dents in planning and creating any school activity in which art and music play a part. ,.,-uv' is T V ,- , QQQL ' K , 4 . ..,t .. 1 45 The Eighth Grade Band practices hard to join the Senior Band. 65

Drivers 5, Boys' Physical Education class studies football plays under the direction of Mr. Emswiller. and Physical Education One of the newest additions to our school program is the Drivers Education Department. It is offered in the school curriculum in order that proper attitudes, habits, and skills may be devel- oped by young drivers. Inorder to qualify for the course, students must have finished the Drivers Education manual taught in the health classes. Under the supervision of Mr. Stanley Price, the students then receive seven hours of driving prac- tice. The aim of the Physical Education Depart- ment is to provide opportunities for the normal physical growth and development of students, and to make physical education interest-compelling and self-motivating. Physical education and health instructors help each individual to reach the highest development of which he is capable as a personality, to help him learn self-discipline, and to acquire aspirit of cooperation. Records, wrestling mats, jump ropes, and peg boards are among the new equipment purchased by the Physi- cal Education Department. Mrs. Danley instructs the girls in healthful exercises. 67
