Mc KIBBIN MOEN SHERWOOD VAN BEEK ENGLISH , Students of foreign languages usually appreciate the fact that to master a foreign language one must be able to use the English language correctly, but for the student who does not intend to specialize in the languages, it is just as important that his usage is correct. lt is this mastery that English teachers are trying to help students to gain. Each student is required to study this subiect throughout his high school course with variety offered in the fields of newswriting, public speaking, debate, and drama. With the guidance of such proficient teachers as are at Central, the students should appreciate and take advantage of the numerous opportunities offered in the English course. Instructors are: Miss Bede, Mrs. Macdonald, Miss Marvin, Miss McKibbin, Miss Mersen, Miss Moen, Miss Mortland, Mrs. Murphy, Miss Nethercott, Miss Sherwood, Miss Southworth, Miss Van Beek, Mr. Warren, and Miss Wilson. COMMERCIAL Every year many students try to fit themselves to their occupations by taking a course in high school which will help them in their future work instead of taking a general course which is not specialized. This is one reason forthe continued growth in regis- tration for the commercial subjects. This course lays out a perfect foundation for a start in the business world. One of the many types of work offered is office practice which creates the atmosphere of a real business office. The student is' trained to do accurate work in filing, bookkeeping, and shorthand. One great aid which is offered in the commercial field is that of salesmanship in which every student should have some experience. Teachers in this department are: Miss Burns, Miss Crassweller, Mr. Elsea, Miss Golding, Mr. Gude, Miss Hansen, Mr. Hartley, Mr. Jay Johnson, Mr. Marietta, Miss Peacha, Miss Richards, Mr. Tuszka, and Mr. Westman.

With this thought in mind, the social science classes have taken on their studies with new vigor, for it is the slowing down in social advances that young America is determined to correct. Knowledge gained from the study ot European and American history, civics, sociology, and economics will also help the youth of America attempt to weld a world of harmony instead of one of differences. Instructors in this department are: Miss Adam, Miss Chatman, Mr. Dole, Mrs. Holmes, Mr. Houghton, Miss Hoyt, Mrs. Kimball, Mr. Larson, Miss Mueller, Mr. Simmons, and Mr. Wilkins. MUSIC An important part of school lite is played by the very active music department composed ot organiza- tions which include the orchestra, band, glee clubs, a cappella choir, and mastersingers. Classes are also offered in musical appreciation, theory, and harmony. Thus Central students are given ample opportunity to gain a well balanced musical educa- tion in both theory and technique. At concerts, at school programs, and at assemblies, as well as at events in the city, the musical organizations repre- senting Central always make a good appearance. The instructors are Mr. Thomason, Mr. Borgwald, Mr. Grover, the new director of the orchestra this year, Mr. Ayres, woodwind technique, and Mr. Tainio, brass technique. LABORATORY SCIENCE ,X Experimentation and laboratory work constit vb very large part of the courses in the science 0,74 biology, physics, chemistry, physiology and physip graphy. ln the biology course, which is divided into two parts, animal and plant life, the students indulge in that famed experience of dissecting a frog, the thought of which is so gruesome to many students. The study of minerals, preserved specimens of body organs, and experiments with chemicals which often result in unusual sounds and smells, are interesting phases of the science courses. The instructors are Miss Abbett, Miss Hollingsworth, Miss Klaus, Miss Lovald, Miss Pollock, Mr. Sayre, Mr. Steele, Mr. Loucks, and Mr. Gagnon. it miss Mit-.xt EN? ummm as yr ravi: t 1.
