Established in 1910, it has tried to meet more and more adequately the needs of the young people of our school. A complete business course is offered in both the secretarial and bookkeeping fields.

STANLEY MYERS Head of Science Department MARY LOCKWOOD Science SCIENCE The modern world is a changed world-a world that has been remade by science. This new world is a machine world-a world in which man is sur- rounded by mechanical devices. During every work- ing hour of the day he is concerned directly and in- directly with machines. He works with them and depends upon their products for food, shelter, and clothing, and even for many pleasures in life. Every young person needs to know the principles of science, not alone for successful work, but also for intelligent living. The Central High School Science Department not only teaches the student the ways and means of scientific development, but also prepares him for higher and more complicated college science. Even if the student does not attend college, his knowledge of many new inventions and discoveries will be in- valuable to him in later life. If the student does attend a university and does not care to carry on his studies in science, he has learned many things that will help him make a successful living. Opportunities in the field of science were never so great as they are today. Aviation, petroleum, sur- vey, research, mathematics, and physics are just a few BERT W.
