SOCIAL SCIENCE... As a glance at newspaper headlines will reveal, our major problems today are those of social and economic adjustments. The purpose of the social studies is to acquaint the student with the prob- lems and various theories as to their solutions. In this department, besides Mr. Ging, are Miss Adam, Miss Allen, Miss Chatman, Mr. Dole, Mr. Gagnon, Mrs. Holmes, Mr. Houghton, Mrs. Kim- ball, Mr. Larson, Miss Mueller, Mr. Simmons, Miss Travis, and Mr. Wilkins.

Two years of language study are often required for higher edu- cation, and many students derive pleasure and bene- fit in learning a language as foundation for a sound cultural background. Cen- tral’s well-rounded Lan- guage Department in- cludes courses in the study of Latin, French, German, Swedish, and Norwegian. These subjects are taught by Miss Case, (pictured here), Miss McLeod, Miss Cherry, Miss Wilson, Miss Ziegler, Mr. J. Arthur John- son, and Mr. Schyttner. Left—MISS CASE Language

Right— MR. TAYLOR Mathematics ENGLISH DEPARTMENT .. . As the study of English is emphasized more than any other in high school, English is the largest department in Central. Special courses which may be sub- stituted for a semester of English include public speaking, newswriting, drama, and creative writing. Besides Miss Mortland, head of the department and pictured here, Central's Eng- lish teachers include Miss Bede, Miss Chipman, Mrs. Macdonald, Miss McKibbin, Miss Marvin, Miss Mersen, Mrs. Murphy, Miss Sellhorn, Miss Sherwood, Miss Greutzmacher, Miss South- worth, Miss Wilson, Miss McLeod, Mr. Warren, and Mr. J. Arthur Johnson. Right—MISS MORTLAND English MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT . . . In his usual good humor we find Mr. Taylor, head of the Mathematics Department, explaining, and analyzing a problem, one of those intended to develop logical thinking in the minds of Central students. At present, eight courses are offered in mathematics. Four of these are in algebra, three in geometry, and and one in trigonometry. Teachers in the Mathematics Department besides Mr. Tay- lor include Miss Mary Little, Miss Majo, Miss Mildred Little, and Miss O'Neill. LABORATORY SCIENCES .. . Laboratory work is always an adventure. Here we find Mr. Sayre and Mr. Steele, investi- gating the results of an experi- ment in chemistry. A visitor to Central’s laboratories would find students dissecting frogs, peer- ing through prisms, preparing hydrogen sulfide, studying min- erals or preserved specimens of body organs. Science courses offered at Central include bi- ology, physics, chemistry, physi- ology, and physiography. In- structors in the Science Depart- ment are Miss Abbett, Miss Hollingsworth, both pictured on the next page, Miss Klaus, Miss Lovald, Miss Pollock, Mr. Sayre, Mr. Steele, Mr. Anderson, Mr. Gagnon, and Mr. Warren.

ART DEPARTMENT . . . Every organization in the school at some time benefits from the work of the Art Department. Zenith art work, and posters for all occasions are furnished by members of Miss Squire’s classes, where talented Centralites try their skill in the var- ious fields of art and art apprecia- tion. MUSIC DEPARTMENT .. . Caught here in a genial mood are Mr. Borgwald and Mr. Thomason, who together direct Central’s very ac- tive Music Department. Instruction for the Orchestra, Band, Glee Clubs, and a cappella Choir is supple- mented by classes offered in mus- ical theory, harmony, and appre- ciation, to provide a sound musical education in both theory and tech- nique for Central’s students. eee eee SSSS aaaaaaaQaa.2.20:0 ART CLASS IN SESSION Above—MR.
