There are many sports taught in the gym classes which not only help to develop the body and mind, but also do much to enliven the school day. Football, basketball, and track are open to the boys who are more interested in these sports than in straight gym work. Gym teachers are Miss Robie, Miss Karon, Mr. Parry, Mr. Swain, and Miss Andresen ifall semesterl. LIBRARY A study and a lending service is available to students and faculty by means of that popular, inexhaustible source of information, the school library. Students may be excused from their study periods at any time and by any teacher to go to the library. This provides them with a convenient place for getting their research work done or a place for entertaining reading. The library is kept up to date with the new books that are added to the carefully selected ones already on the shelves. Miss Perry is the efficient head librarian, while Miss Elvira Carlson assisted her during the fall semester. TRADE COURSES When you hear those words the man behind the man behind the gun, you know they refer to the two hundred and fifty ambitious boys taking Smith-Hughes Courses at Central. The training the boys get is a foundation and a back- ground that is invaluable. They must practice one thousand hours in their major shop, which may consist of one of the following: auto mechanics, cabinet making, machine shop, foundry, drafting, pattern making, print- ing, radio, carpentry, or welding. They put in three hundred and sixty hours in related English, which helps sell the boy to the employer, either by interviews or letters. Along with the maior shop, there are many related subiects which serve to cement training into a united whole. The boys spend two hours a day on such related subiects as: ioinery, drawing, machine drawing, art, mathematics, physics, science, electricity, sheet metal, forge metallurgy, code practice, and others. Most of the boys graduate from regular high school by going to night school and in this way finish both courses within three years. After this they can step out into community life and prove themselves an asset to it. x ffl' SWAIN BERG ETSCHEID GOERZ KNOTT PARKES SCHROER CARLSON EADE cLAssoN NEWMAN JOHNSON PETERSON SETALA PERRY EBELING GLENN KELLOR MARQUART RUDE TIDBALL

Starting with first year algebra the math student advances through plane and solid geometry, two courses in advanced algebra, and trigonometry. Mathematics is also the basis for the development of such sciences as chemistry and physics. Exponents of the unknowns and theorems are Miss Mary Little, Miss Mildred Little, Miss Maio, Miss O'Neill, Mr. Talkovich, and Mr. Taylor. HOME ECON0lI'IICS Practical training in the fields of important household arts is offered in the home economics department. Girls learn by actual experience in the courses in foods, clothing, and related arts, taught by Miss Loudon, department head, Miss Taylor, and Mrs. Sebo. ART Talented student artists are given the opportunity to try their skill in the various tields of art and art appre- ciation under the capable supervision of Miss Squire. Through the art work and the posters made for school occasions, promising students learn art by actual prac- tice. This art work makes the products of this depart- ment much sought after by school organizations. FOREIGN LANGUAGES The study of a foreign language gives one a better understanding of the origin and the composition of the English language. ln studying a foreign tongue one learns much about the people, their songs, customs, and the country associated with the language. Interpreters in this department are Miss Case, Miss McLeod, Miss Cherry, Mr. Englehart, Mr. Bateman, Miss Baird, Mr. Delmez, and Mr. J. A. Johnson. SIGHT SAVING The sight saving class is of great help to students from all over Duluth whose eyes need special care. Through the aid of Miss Watts and Miss White, this class has helped many students. Because ofthe care in training and conserving sight, the student will find opportunities for permanent work upon completion of the course. GFFICE SEGRETARIES At the beginning of each new semester, students crowd the main office in seemingly never-ending lines. With the help of the office secretaries, their program troubles are soon straightened out. These competent workers, Miss Carlson, Mrs. Mattson, Miss Vaillencourt, and Miss Longdo, play an important part in the daily schedule maintained at Central, for the necessary details of the school routine could not be accomplished without them. l
