Because of this incredible increase, the responsi- bility of providing an education which can include these advances has fallen almost entirely upon the school. Central High School District :ii2, consisting of six junior and senior high schools, has met this challenge with much success. Its program has been planned through the efforts of many men and women, who have spent much time and thought to give the young people of our community the type of education which can be a great asset to their futures. This is the main object of the Subject Area Co- ordinators. It is their function to insure the standardization of the curriculum in the schools throughout the district. In this way high standards are maintained and all students are given an equal opportunity to achieve the same levels of work which are essential in our present age. We seldom see the coordinators since their of- fices are located in Sewanhaka but we are all able to reap the fruit of their labors.

Citizenship Education Since the turn of the century, America has be- gun to realize and assume her role as a member of the community of nations. Due to these de- velopments, the aims of the Citizenship Educa- tion Department have changed from merely imparting a knowledge of ancient history, to preparation for the sharing of the responsibility which our ,present state demands. This program falls into two main categories: stressing the his- tory of our states nation and the world and em phasizing social cultural economic and political trends culminating in a course concerned with the problems facing our contemporay society No utmost 1mportance to be able to think mtelli gently about the problems confronting each of us daily. matter what our aims in life, we find it of the A yy cyc ,c b U Left to right: Mr. Charles Roberts, Mrs. Florence Dubin, Mr. Albert Koehler, Mr, Leslie ChaitoH, Mr. John McElderry, Mr. Bernard Wal lerstein, Mr. Arthur Delaney.

Be- cause of this change in our educational outlook the Citizenship Ed- ucation and English courses on the junior high level have been changed to not only give the student command of his language and basic knowledgqofkthis state and nation, but also to broaden his outlook in order tcgniihore fully reap the benefits of further edu- cation.
