.L .4 .gs 'P-3 , Exasperation sometimes culminated a day of continual practice for Mr. David Ray, band director. In this progressing world new science discoveries are be- ing made every day. At this rapid pace, science teachers sometimes find it difficult to keep their students informed on the ever-challenging new science discoveries as well as reviewing them on facts already known. Central's science department, however, is well equipped in both the bio- logical and physics fields to compel students to their high- est potential in classroom work. Lab experiments and films also helped teachers get their points across. This was Mrs. Judy Scotfs first year as head of the science department. Developing musical talents and keeping Central swing- ing was the job ofthe Music department this year. The band, directed by Mr. David Ray, gave concerts and at- tended contests. The chorus, lead by Mrs. Ruby Dunn, gave a Thanksgiving Song Fest and a Christmas program among other things.

The history teacher knows the moods well. Yet he or she must face them, accept them, and perhaps even try to change them, for the history les- son must go on. The seemingly endless dates, presidents, and events which must be taught provide a fascinating challenge for the teachers, who try to present them in a new and interesting way. Help, in the form of new text- books, came to aid their efforts. is Johnny Rayburn Olivette Burt 7th, 9th-History,Coach 8th-History i Ralph Johnson Nila Gibbs 8th-History 9th-History Jack Hulsey 8th-History, Coach Alton Ewer 9th-History,A.V.
