Overholser Ovcrmin Recd Rhonemus Richey The Science Department The importance of this department cannot be over-estimated when one considers the course of study offered. This includes Chemistry, Physics. Biology, the General Science as a required subject for freshmen. ln co-ordi- nation with the textbook material, laboratory experiments are provided. Through visits to local manufacturing plants. and projects of a scientific nature in the home or laboratory, pupils are given the opportunity for the study of the practical side of scientific theories. This work is supplemented by lectures, movies, exhibitions, and periodicals. ln the course of the year each student is required either to construct a project according to scientific principles or to write an essay on some phase of science. Students annually contest for prizes offered by the National Chemical Essay Society. These essays are con- sidered as one of the required projects. Our mission is not to qualify students as expert engineers, chemists, or physicists. but is to make the most eilicient use of the allotted the depart- ment in a thorough and practical course of instruction. Thus the student may be best fitted to apply his knowledge in further study after graduation. TEACHERS MR. EDMISTON, HEAD Mr. Criies Mr. Huber Miss Linnell Mr. Stheuerman

Linnrll Mcllheron Mendenhall Neuman Nolan ' 3 Mathematics Department Not to create mathematicians but to instruct the students in such mathe- matics fundamental to their comprehension of further courses to be under- taken, is the aim of this department. The curriculum offers four semesters of algebra, three of geometry, one of trigonometry, and business arithmetic. This department also aims to develop habits of thought which are logical, orderly, exact. and analytical. Constant effort made on the part of the student for the acquisition of this important division of his mental equipment will. in future years, enable him not only to meet problems independently and to work correct solutions. but to apply the principle of solution to all situations. rg nn Y I TEACHERS MR.

Romaker Row Scheuerman Scott Steiner Music and Art Both music and art. since their early establishment. command a predom- inating position in Central life. The fact that the orchestra. whose personnel now reaches nearly forty. is an outstanding factor in music within the city is largely due to the efforts of Mr. C. J. Broadhead, its director. The Central Band deserves much favorable comment for its pleasing ren- dition of music at inter-scholastic events and at concerts given throughout this section of the state. Without doubt much credit goes to its able leader Mr. J. N. DuPere. The glee clubs joined in presening the opera. Chimes of Normandy. by Planquette. It met with success clue extensively to the efforts of Miss Violet Lewis and Mr. Broadhead. The orchestra, band, and glee clubs all took part in eisteddfods in which each played a predominating part. The Central Art Department was organized in 1908 for the encourage ment and appreciation of art within the school. Special art classes meet several times a week. Here work is along the lines of nature study, still life posing designing and lettering. Special work such as programmes and posters for plays is also done. The Art Study Club's work is similar. The club meets once a week for work on themes and projects chosen by the students. Great artists are studied and the students brought to a more full understanding by frequent talks by Mrs. E. Burrell, its supervisor. Undoubtedly there is a great amount of value obtained by the members provided that their work is conscientious TEACHERS Mrs. Burrell.
