TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT ROAD OF LIFE ls there a better way to discover something of what is ahead in the business world than to enroll in a business course in Central? Shorthand, typing, and bookkeeping are a part of the course and the typewriters, comptometers, bookkeeping machines, commercial posting machines, mimeograph, and adding machines are used constantly by eager students in the George-Dean courses. INNER SANCTUM Happy is the man who can learn the causes of things. Biology, physics, chemistry. . . Oh, what a headache! But Oh, what a thrill! when finally we realize that we have gained a little knowledge in our science courses that may help us onthe road to future discoveries. Joan Washnesky operates the comptometer while Virginia Briggs works the commercial posting machine. Ronald Johnson and Jim Oliver attempt to pull apart two Mag- deburg hemispheres from which the air has been exhausted by means ofa vacuum pump. I'VE GOT YOUR NUMBER Remember that math problem that had not only xy and z but also abcd and f? How can they be so patient and how do they get it through our heads? Central's teachers can and do. We have classes in algebra, trig, and geometry. PEOPLE'S PLATFORM Contemporary problems of our times are discussed in a new course, problems ot democracy. Other social science courses are: history, sociology, pol- itical science, and economics. Every student is re- quired to take American history and one other year of work in social science. Bill Graham and Harold Dahl acquaint themselves with the different parts of a cone. Mr. Houghton explains to Bernard Dinner the use of Index numbers showing the rise in the cost of living.
