I. .- DOROTHY ANGEVINE Language ICHK I Languages help one to become aware of the worlds customs. LANGUAGE ine Language Department offers a great deal to the person who desires to obtain a liberal education. There are many ways in which the knowledge of languages helps a student secure a liberal education. For instance, it pro- motes an understanding of other peoples-not merely their language but their characteristics and customs also. In many professions and careers the knowledge of foreign language is extremely helpful and often a neces- sity. RUTH SNELL Language FLORENCE MCCLURE Language ' The Language Department at Central is fortunate in having unusually learned and capable teach- ers. All of the departments teachers have been to Europe and most of them to Mexico also. Languages offered in the department are Latin, French, Spanish, and German. As a contribution to the emphasis being put on world understanding, the department is offering a new course which in- troduces students to a great number of the world's languages ' SPEECH DEPARTMENT The Speech Department contributes to a liberal education in numerous ways.

ART DEPARTMENT The Art Department offers to each student an opportunity of expressing himself through his own creative ideas. Many students aren't able to express themselves in speech work or music. Art gives a stu- dent a form of relaxation as Well as an outlet for crea- tive thoughts. Every student has a chance to enter national and state contests, which give recognition to the individual and encourage work in all types of the arts. Many op- portunities for entering the commercial field and re- ceiving scholarships are available to winning contestants. Different types of art are taught at Central, such as Interior Decoration, Design, Commercial Art, and Art Appreciation. The teachers of this department try not only to furnish and equip the students with the techniques, but also to give them a better understanding of the arts. In this way students learn to appreciate this culture even if art doesn't become their life work. 1 MUSIC DEPARTMENT Through the Music Department a student becomes acquainted with one of the many aspects of a well- rounded education. One who is interested in developing his natural music talent has an opportunity of expressing his own creative abilities. The study of .high school music is arranged to attract, hold, and educate the boy and girl. Its purpose is to make not professional musicians but music lovers and listeners, knowing the world's music just as they know its history, prose, poetry, and art. By working together in class, students learn co- operation and dependability. The a cappella and the Band both demand this sense of responsibility. Music stands for as much mental development and general culture as does any other subject in the cur- riculum. The Band and a cappella each give assemblies dur- ing the year for the enjoyment of the whole school. The use of modeling clay is one of the constructive arts taught at Central High School.
