CENTRAL JUNIOR QE. ANNUAL REFLECTOR van nQ..D4E,E,'C5V4.9n UGA Metal WOI'l'C The metal class, under the direction of Mr. Emil C. Trommer, has made much progress this year. Her, we also learned how to operate various types of machines. ' At the first of the year, when we 'first entered the class, the work seemed to be very diflicult. But as We went along, the work became easier when we learned to read blue prints and to measure more accurately. The learning of metalwork, as a vocation, is an important trade these days, for it offers more opportunities than it has in the past. One who can successfully learn this trade would find little difliculty in earning a living. In this indus- trial country of ours the metal Worker has the chance to use his trade in the making of auto- mobile bodies, rails for trains, steel frames, etc. Mr. Trommer has taught this class in Cen- tral for nearly twelve years, and all boys have enjoyed having him for their teacher. May he long continue to teach and may We profit from his teaching.

Hi-Y Club The Central Junior Hi-Y Club was organized in October, 1934, for the purpose, as its constitu- tion states, of establishing and keeping good fellowship and to provide educational and recre- ational opportunities for its members. At the first election of oihcers Bob Kampfert, Henry Zacharias, Arnold Zapoleon, and Don Warren were chosen to direct the affairs of the club and to plan a series of programs for the weekly meet- ings. Among the speakers at noon meetings were Coach Stackhouse, of Saginaw High School, Myron Wilson, chief detective of the Saginaw police force, and Captain Bob Fish, of the Royal British Air Corps. Many other speakers made the meetings enjoyable. Other activities included a potluck supper, at which Don Warren ate huge quantities of pie, a trip to the Zilwaukee power plant, and visits to the Saginaw airport and the Bell Telephone building. At the Hi-Y swimming meet, every boy who Wanted to swim, was put on the team and they unexpectedly pulled out a victory over the other junior Hi-Y clubs. The club has chosen as oiiicers, to carry on next year the work which was so well started this year, Don Warren, Danny Soloman, Vert- ner Mandelstom, and Kenneth Brace. They are laying plans for a year of entertainment and edification. It pays to comfort heavy hearts Oppressed with dull despair, And leave in sorrow-darkened lives One gleam of brightness there.

Some of the types of drawing studied are: Orthographic drawings, pictorial drawings, let- tering, sketching, development of sheet-metal, structural steel, machine drawings, principles of design, electrical drafting, and furniture. John Dork. GWQKS Typewriting Typewriting this year, with Mr. Rhodes as instructor, was a required course of all ninth grade commercial pupils. Because of the increased use ofthe typewriter, it is a necessary instrument for the teacher, scholar, and average individual. Every business man must have some knowledge of typing. 0 Accuracy and arrangement is more important than speed. The subject is taught in Junior High to give each pupil a practical skill for his own use, or to lay the foundation for his success in typing, or stenographic business. Neatness is also stressed throughout the course. Speed tests were given weekly which were found very interesting. Several students have already typed over forty words per minute, of which, only 20 words are required for the 9A credit. Virginia Sieroslawska :iz 11: as 1: A thing that nobody believes cannot be proved too often.-Shaw. 8th Grade English The first semester of English was devoted to technical grammar and spelling. The work of 8A English has consisted of the study of literature and composition in which word study and spelling are included. K'The Masque of the Red Death, told of a Red Death that devastated the countryside. Not even a selfish prince could escape it. Especi- ally interesting was the story of The Man With- out a Country, by Edward Everett Hale. The story was read following the lecture by Mr.Elias concerning himself as A Man Without a Country. We have studied Snowbound, a winter idyl, by John G. Whittier. It tells of a country family who are snowbound and of the good time they have around the dear winged hearth. Pete of the Steel Mills, is an interesting story by Herschel S. Hull. The author had a great knowledge of steel - .ills and wrote many interesting stories about them. Others were: The Coming of Spring, by Hamlin Garland, The Rivermanj' by Stewart Edward White, The Ransom of Red Chief, and others from Elson and Keck, Book Two. Besides reading the stories, we have studied the authors and learned to know them as real men and women that worked hard to give us the enjoyment of their stories. Jean Ginsburg QJOVD 9A Civics In the 9th grade Civics we study in our Com- munity and Vocational Civics books. Then we learned how to pass bills. On Fridays we get an article out of The Literary Digest Magazine and have it ready to report on every Monday. When we report on these topics, we have a regular program, just as if we were broadcasting over a radio. At the present time, we are studying about the members of the Presidents Cabinet and what they do. Leona Brusehafer GNWK9 Safety For Every One! 1.
