Q b 'W' -4 ,4 1 S ENGLBH Before: Ain't youse got nuttin'? After: Haven't you anything? That's a brief review of what the English department accomplishes. Once grammar was a grind but now through the use of work books it's almost a game. Combined with interesting literature it emerges one ot our favorite sub- jects. HELEN BEDE my 5 MAIZIE MORTLAND AUDREY M. NETHERCOTT WINIFRED SHERWOOD IO DORA M. MACDONALD MARY B. MARVIN Electives which can be substituted for formal English provide a lively change for many pupils. Among these are creative writing, iournalism, debate, drama, and speech. All in all, none of us would ever give up our English activities. A look back into '44 reminds us of the fun we had mastering studies relative to our mother tongue. LOIS McKlBBIN LILLIE MOEN MIRA M.

MR. STILES There is no average day for Mr. Stiles, boys' coun- selor and head of the attendance department. However, if you decided to follow him around, you'd find that he arrives around 8 or 8:15. Second and sixth periods, he conducts a class in bookkeeping. From third period to l2:30 p.m., he is in his office again. He has charge of discipline, early dismissals, and personnel, along with many other duties. Students confer with Mr. Stiles from 3:l5 to 5, pro- viding other important meetings and conferences don't stand in his way. MRS. BENSON l never know what a day will bring states Mrs. Benson, Dean of Girls. There are a variety of things that face her as she arrives around 8:30 each morning. First upon her arrival is checking up on blue slips and taking care of the pink ones. All day, tardy slips are being signed and early dismissals for music lessons, work, etc., are being approved, or reiected. This year about 500 students have work permits. Mrs. Benson's oltice is a hospital, too. During the course of the day, maybe a dozen students will be in her office. Planning college programs, handling personal problems and countless other tasks make Mrs. Benson's day truly full.

MARGARET ADAM MAX HOUGHTON SOCIAL SCIENCE Orphan Annie?-Who's she? We never thought we'd hear that from a student, but the day is here. Comic strips have been pushed aside for front page scoops, and Kaltenborn has replaced the Lone Ranger. Social scientists at Central are really in the know when it comes to current events. They no longer confine their interests to the dark ages but combine news of GLADYS CHATMAN , rr: if we MAYBELLE HOYT EVA B. KIMBALL HARRY L. DOLE VIRGIL B. GING d ig , .,:, F today with the study of yesterday. Thus they are learning to profit by the experiences of the past and apply their knowledge to present and future day problems. Who can ever forget this modern miracle performed by the Social Science Department? Mr. Westman, instructor, is not in the pictures. -X. tt.. 5 ..::..., . C . , I . sw '-as - -, .
