It is often difficult for a student to identify his prob lem. Through the help of the counselors, the students develop personal insights, and as the troubled students solve their problems, a new sense of maturity evolves. The guidance department also offers several aptitude and scholarship tests during the year, which are designed to determine learning potential and achievement. Since students are assigned to counselors by home.- rooms, a counselor has the opportunity to achieve a more intimate relationship with each student. The guidance program at Central encourages better solutions to students' problems and fuller realizations of their goals.

For the college bound senior, English literature is the subiect and Elise Best the teacher who makes it live for Jim Keel. 20 No man is an island - in our society communication among people is essential Since in this area the primary form of com- munication is through the English language I one must be adept in reading, writing, lis- tening and speaking for effective and effi- cient understanding. Central has developed an English pro- gram which can fulfill this need for each student. American and English literature is taught with the aid of paperback novels and modern textbooks to give students the necessary backgrounds. After grammar has been reviewed, students learn to write - by writing. During their three years at Cen- tral, students touch on almost every kind of written communication, from exercises in poetics to biographical sketches and formal research themes. Since not all students will be going into the same type of vocation, English classes are divided into college, general, and busi- ness courses, each of which is designed to prepare each student more specifically for the future.
