i Steward Stuart Swcaringen Umbrrit XVarrick Industrial Arts and Home Economics This long established branch of the school is one of the most useful and beneficial parts between its walls. Many students take an Industrial Arts Course or a Home Economics Course both of which require four years of one of these subjects among the credits for graduation. To be able to offer such courses a school must possess ways of teaching. eflicient teachers. and the necessary materials and requirements before offering such a course requiring these things. Since Central fulfills these requirements there is no visible reason why she should not have a division of so high a calibre. In the shop the boys take up a study of a range of industries, especially those pertaining to mechanics. Woodwork of all kinds and descriptions is done by the boys besides the building of radios, molding and other work of the sort. Mr. C. M. Cahill is in charge of this type of work. Architectural and mechanical drawing are given to supply the theoretical side of the course. These are given by Mr. l-lauenstein, the head of the department. The parallel course for girls is work valuable to a home. Here garment making. cafeteria management. interior decoration, millinery and dietetics are studied under Miss Mendenhall the head of the department.

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.

The method of securing this result is through class exercises which are to develop the muscles. through apparatus work which develops co-operation and by competitive sports which develops individual resourcefulness.

Besides having a great store of volumes, there are papers from distant cities, periodicals, and a great number of scientific magazines and articles which are furnished by the Science Department. The appreciation for this institution is shown by the number of students who attend it every period. TEACHERS Physical Education Library Mr. Umbreit.
