l LANGUAGE Un gcircon en france, apres avoir vu une belle fille dirait, O-o la, lal Ou avez vous ete toute ma vie? After taking a language course at Cen- tral, one emerges with a feeling of achieve- ment. An understanding of the peoples and their customs is gained through the study, beside a mastering the language. The ability to speak more than one tongue proved a valuable asset to our boys who fought in foreign countries. Central offers courses in Latin, French, Spanish, and German. Miss Josephine M. Gath, Miss Wilhelmina Case, Miss Anne Cherry, and Albert J. Delmez instructors in German, Latin, French, and Spanish respectively, examine material representing the countries about which they teach. ie Muriel Nelson, a French student, and Jessica Bowing, from the Latin department, look on with interest while Marilyn Sioselius and Gordon Sangster write their sentences on the board in German and Spanish.

x , U O A . 'nr- O ENGLISH We have found in '46 that English can become our favorite subject through the use of workbooks, the writing of interesting themes, and the study of literature. In our workbooks we learn correct use ofthe English language which is so essential in the world today. In our literature we are not only provided with good reading ma- terial, but we are introduced to people of other countries, learning their habits, his- tory, and problems so we are better able to understand them. For variety a student may take creative writing, journalism, debate, or speech as a substitute for formal English. Miss Maizie Mortland, Miss Lillie Moen, and Miss Mira M. Southworth look over the victrola records of the English department. The Macbeth records are especially popular. Miss Mary Marvin shows the pictures to Miss Wini- fred Sherwood while Miss Audrey Nethercott shows interest in the camera. Guy H. M. Warren points outa passage of interest to Mrs. Dora Mary Macdonald and Miss Nellie Gul- branson. Dramatizing She Stoops to Conquer in English class, Irving Moore, with gestures, proposes to Virginia Lea. Happy papas are behind the screen. Um '4

SOCIAL SCIENCE Centralites of today have come to learn the importance of knowing about world events, because members of their families or friends fought for the peace in strange, maybe unheard-of places. World War ll has made us conscious of the importance of having a knowledge of our foreign neighbors. We obtain this knowledge through outside reading, current events, and the use of magazines and newspapers. Our social science department, in- cluding history, sociology, and econo- mics, helps us understand the problems of today. t n Leonard Gagnon, ex-Army captain, on returning from Germany seems to be happy to renew his work in the social science department with Miss Maybelle Hoyt, Miss Margaret Adam, and W. C. Simmons. , y 5 41, ,L li ef .1 ,gQ.,.. - Q ui - A -a:,.l 'E' ,,,,...-f-A These social science teachers, Miss Gladys Chatman, Mrs. Eva B.
