Radio Class The radio class is a new class which was first taught in the Centralia Town- ship High School this present year of 1934. The radio class has taken its place in the curriculum of many modern American high schools. Because of the scien- tific invention of radio a new field of research and work has been opened up to the men and women of the world. Thus, a radio class will teach many boys and girls the fundamentals of an interesting and worthwhile subject. The radio class, which was taught at C. T. H. S. during the present year, was a class composed entirely of boys, who were very much interested in the radio. The instructor who taught the radio class was Mr. Spencer. This class met the first period every day for one semester. Mr. Spencer taught the boys the principles and fundamental facts about the radio. These boys in the radio class also studied the uses of the radio, and they learned the various parts of the radio and the relation of those parts to the complete radio set. All the boys in the radio class have found that the time spent in that class was well spent, as they absorbed much valuable knowledge of the radio. Page Twenty-eight

Personal Typing Class Ar the request of a large number of the students in che Centralia Township High School a new course, called personal typing, was added to the curriculum during the year 1934. It was a one semester course, which was held the fourth pcriocl under the direction of the typing teacher, Mr. Rau. In the past years the students have had to take the regular business typing course, even though they were not interested in the business side of typing, but in the personal side of the subject. There were students who wished to learn to type in order that they could save time by typing long themes, outlines, and reports, which they would have to do in their high school and college work. lVIr. Rau first taught these students how to finger the keyboard and he taught them the necessary principles of typing business letters. The class next took up the correct methods of typing personal letters. Near the end of the semes- ter Mr. Rau taught these students the things which were of especial interest to them. The personal typing course has been very successful this year and makes the curriculum of our high school more complete. Page Twenty-nine
